Fish Skin
Biobank
From aquaculture waste to certified sterile biomaterial — PISCA CURA's Skin Bank collects, sterilizes, and cold-preserves fish skins from tilapia, salmon, and other species, supplying hospitals, research centers, and our own manufacturing units with traceable, high-quality regenerative material.
Turning Ocean Waste
Into Healing Material
Every year, aquaculture and fishing industries discard tonnes of fish skins — a byproduct considered waste, yet biologically rich in collagen, growth factors, and antimicrobial peptides. PISCA CURA intercepts this waste stream before it reaches landfill or sea.
Through a patented multi-species biotransformation process, fish skins from tilapia, salmon, and other species are collected directly from certified aquaculture partners and fishing cooperatives. Each batch is fully traceable — logged by species, origin, and harvest date — before entering the biobank.
This circular economy model means 100% of collected skins are valorized — either processed into regenerative devices, collagen extracts, or supplied as sterile raw material to hospitals and research institutions. Nothing is wasted.
Source Species
Full traceability: Every batch logged by species, origin, and harvest date — from fishing partner to final sterile product.
From Waste Stream
to Certified Biomaterial
A four-stage biobank protocol transforms raw fish skins into fully traceable, sterile, cold-preserved materials — ready for clinical use or internal manufacturing.
Reception & Traceability
Each skin batch is received from certified aquaculture partners and fishing cooperatives. Every unit is logged with species, origin, and harvest date — establishing a complete, auditable supply chain record.
Key Parameters
Cleaning & Disinfection
Skins undergo standardized cutting to uniform dimensions, followed by multi-stage cleaning and disinfection protocols that remove contaminants while preserving the collagen matrix and bioactive compounds.
Key Parameters
Sterilization & Packaging
Validated sterilization using gamma irradiation or equivalent methods eliminates all pathogens while maintaining structural integrity. Skins are then sealed in sterile, medical-grade packaging ready for distribution or internal use.
Key Parameters
Certified Cold Storage
Processed skins are stored in certified cold-chain facilities at −20°C to −80°C, preserving biological activity and sterility until distribution. Temperature is continuously monitored with automated alerts.

Why Fish Skin
Heals Differently
Fish skin is not a substitute for human tissue — it is a biologically superior scaffold. Its unique molecular structure delivers measurable clinical outcomes.
Clinical data shows fish skin-derived biomaterials accelerate tissue regeneration by 30% compared to conventional wound care approaches.
Natural antimicrobial peptides inhibit bacterial colonization
Fish collagen structurally similar to human collagen
Moist wound environment reduces pain perception
Growth factors stimulate native tissue repair
Scientific Basis
Fish skin extracellular matrix contains Type I collagen, fibronectin, and glycosaminoglycans that mirror the structural components of human dermis. This molecular similarity enables seamless integration with host tissue, reducing rejection risk and accelerating the natural healing cascade.
For Medical
Professionals
PISCA CURA's Skin Bank supplies certified biomaterials across multiple clinical disciplines — from emergency burn care to reconstructive surgery and research.
Burn Wound Coverage
Sterile fish skin patches provide immediate biological coverage for 2nd and 3rd degree burns, reducing fluid loss, protecting against infection, and creating an optimal environment for re-epithelialization.
