Trib Live: An Excela podiatrist was honored at a conference in Iceland for his use of a wound treatment product that comes from an unlikely source: under the sea.
Dr. Patrick Roberto of Excela Health’s Advanced Wound Center traveled to Reykjavik at the end of February for the Northern Lights Wound Workshop after being recognized as a recipient of an Aurora Award from Kerecis, a company that develops health care products made from fish skin.
Roberto submitted a clinical case study detailing his successful work with the Kerecis fish skin products to treat a patient with a leg wound that was difficult to heal. At the conference in Iceland, Roberto presented the case study and learned from other doctors who had also shown success with the treatment.
