Doctors in the UK will use skin made from sharks to treat 27-year-old Kafeel Ahmed, a terror suspect who tried to blow himself up in the failed Glasgow airport attack.

Struggling to save Ahmed, surgeons have finally turned to this revolutionary treatment, known as Integra Dermal Regeneration Template and costing over pound;20,000, British tabloid The Sun reported on Tuesday.

8220;It tricks the body into creating new skin cells,8221; the tabloid quoted surgeon Steve Jeffrey. 8220;Ahmed is being treated with these grafts because there is nothing left on his body that can be used,8221; the tabloid quoted a source, without revealing his name. 8220;He is receiving the latest technology to try to heal the skin 8212; but there is still little hope of him surviving,8221; a Glasgow Royal Infirmary insider said.
