Abstract :
Acellular fish skin grafts (FSGs) are tissue-based
products derived from the minimally processed skin of the
Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua). The FSG has a high amount
of omega-3 fatty acids, which aid in the regeneration of
tissues by promoting the growth of new blood vessels and
tissue formation throughout the stages of wound healing
known as proliferation and remodeling. FSG exhibits a
higher degree of structural resemblance to human skin
compared to antiviral-treated skin substitutes like amniotic
membrane. Furthermore, there is no evidence of any prion,
bacterial, or viral infections being transmissible from
North-Atlantic cod to humans. The FSG undergoes
proprietary processing that maintains the integrity and
lipid composition of the skin. FSG is presently the sole
acellular dermal matrix product that does not derive from
mammalian tissues. This review will examine the efficacy of
FSG as a wound dressing.
