Advancing Wound Care: Omega-3 Fish Skin Grafts Versus Standard Treatment in Partial and Deep Thickness Wounds

Learning Objectives:

• Differentiate between primary, secondary, and tertiary intention healing, and identify when each one is inappropriate.
• Compare current treatment options including autografts, allografts, skin substitutes, xenografts and determine patient indications.
• Analyze evidence from clinical studies evaluating Omega-3 grafts in partial- and deep-thickness wounds, burns, and chronic ulcers.
• Evaluate clinical outcomes and compare Omega-3 grafts with standard of care treatments.
• Assess patient- and wound-related factors that may influence graft performance and outcomes.
• Discuss future directions in biologic grafting, including the need for randomized controlled trials and long-term follow-up.
