Never said I didn’t

Keep it clean, dry, and covered. The wound bed should be kept moist and you can treat it with any antibiotic cream, xeroform (a ‘greasy’ gauze dressing), or silvadene cream. A few weeks of good wound care and staying off the foot, and you should be fine. Watch out for any signs of infection, and remember acetaminophen and ibuprofen are great for pain control if it is safe for you to take those medications.

Didn’t even think about the applications to veterinary medicine. Very cool indeed!

Burn nurse here. Fish skin is rarely if ever used in the US. We have a reliable supply of cadaver human skin that is better suited to the job. Xeno (animal skin) or allo (cadaver skin) grafts are used as a temporizing measure to allow newly burned skin to partial heal before autografting (a patients own skin) can be done. In severe cases a small Amount of a patients skin cells can be harvested and reproduced in a lab to make 2-8 cell thick sheets of skin. This process is extremely expensive and resource intensive. Products like tilapia skin would still be expensive (medical grade anything is expensive) but they can be lifesavers in countries without access to cadaver skin
