Description

Forticell, (formerly Ortec International, Inc.), founded in 1991, was formed to commercialize the technology developed by Dr. Mark Eisenberg, an Australian general practitioner, to treat his son for the affects of a rare genetic disease, Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB).  In a desperate attempt to save his son from having to undergo additional surgeries, Dr. Eisenberg discovered that he could create a substitute skin using cells from infant foreskins and delivering these in a collagen matrix.
