Kerecis SurgiClose for draining fistula wounds
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a special dressing made from fish skin (Kerecis SurgiClose) to help heal fistula-in-ano wounds that won't close on their own. It may help people with this type of anal fistula heal faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tracks how well a fish skin graft (Kerecis) heals wounds in real patients. It helps doctors learn more about who benefits most from this treatment.
This trial tests a new surgical technique for gender-affirming vaginoplasty that uses a fish skin graft (Kerecis) to create the vaginal lining. It may be an option for transgender women planning this type of surgery for the first time.
This trial tests whether a special tissue therapy can help heal complex anal fistulas that involve a large part of the sphincter muscle. It is for adults who need surgery for this condition and do not have certain other health issues.
This trial tests a new procedure called Fistura to treat complex anal fistulas (abnormal tunnels between the anal canal and skin). It uses radiofrequency energy to close the fistula while preserving muscle. The study is for people whose fistula has already been drained with a temporary seton stitch.
