Doctors use shark skin grafts to treat burned terror suspect
24.07.07
Surgeons treating the terror suspect burned in the Glasgow Airport car bomb attempt are going to use "grafts" of a skin substitute made from shark cartilage and cow tendons.
Kafeel Ahmed, 27, is being treated at the Glasgow Royal Infirmary.
The process is called Integra Dermal Regeneration Template. "It tricks the body into creating new skin cells," explained Steve Jeffrey, a surgeon who worked in Australia perfecting the treatment.
Silicone implanted with shark skin extracts is laid on the burns for two weeks before it is removed and replaced with a layer of skin thinner than a graft.
Although the latest technology is being used - at a cost of more than £20,000 - Ahmed is still critical and in a coma.
He is under constant armed police guard at the hospital.
Ahmed allegedly crashed a Jeep Cherokee into the terminal building at Glasgow Airport on June 30, a day after police found two unexploded car bombs in central London.
Dramatic pictures of police wrestling him to the ground appeared across the media.
Ahmed was initially treated at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley. He was transferred under sedation to Glasgow Royal Infirmary in an intensive care ambulance.

The best part of the shark for burns is living digestive tract tissue. Just bring him to the ocean and the sharks will be begging to "heal" him.

"Although the latest technology is being used - at a cost of more than £20,000 - Ahmed is still critical and in a coma."I hope no honest, God-fearing Brit is being refused these same skin grafts for their burns.
"However, the docs should have utilized pig skin instead of shark skin. That would be poetic justice!"
Let's hope the last meal these sharks had was a big, fat, greasy pig!

Ahmed is still critical and in a coma. Thats a real shame he is missing some really exquisite pain and suffering (that is much deserved).

The ultimate irony would be if the treatment would have involved the use of pig intestinal cells. This terrorist would forever be doomed from entrance to Paradise.

Shark doesnt have scales. I do believe you are incorrect about that.

I think they do have a form of “scales” but they aren’t like bony fishes. Just off the top of my head i think they’re called denticles due to their tooth like appearance.

“Shark doesnt have scales.”
“I do believe you are incorrect about that.”
lol.... No, that part I am sure of. Ever hear of shark skin suits? Ever wonder why they don’t make Tuna skin suits? It’s because Tuna have scales that make tanning their skin impractical. Shark skin on the other hand is perfectly scaleless and very tough and durable when tanned.

The latest hi-tech treatments for a terrorist. This from a government that rations health care for its own citizens. Lovely.

From askMoses.com (who knew?)
Yes, they (sharks and swordfish) have scales, but not the type of scales that make a fish kosher. The biblical term translated as scales is kaskeses. This refers to scales that can be removed from the fish without tearing the skin. Scales that are one with the fish and cannot be removed without tearing the skin are not called kaskeses. Fish with such scales are not kosher. The swordfish is one of them.
