3 SutureSafe Dynamic Incision Management Creating a low-tension healing environment Indications Early incision management to reduce the risk of surgical site infections, complications and dehiscence Bridges the suture line, dynamically holding wound margins together Normalizes skin tension isolating the wound and allowing movement without pain Prevents dehiscence Reduces scarring Maintain constant wound visibility

4 DynaStretch Topical Pre-operative Skin Expansion Topical skin expansion is a common surgical procedure to grow extra skin through controlled mechanical overstretch. It creates skin that matches the color, texture, and thickness of the surrounding tissue, while minimizing scars and rejection risks. Area marked for excision DynaClose s gentle, but unrelenting tension makes it ideal for stretching skin prior to a surgical intervention, creating a depot of skin that allows a primary closure after defect or flap excision. DynaClose's tension aligns collagen fibers and encourages new cell generation. The inherent elasticity of both the adhesive fabric and the silicone elastomer allow patient mobility as the device works. DynaStretch applied Topically applied in office 1-2 weeks pre-op Patient managed until day of surgery Enables primary skin closure after excision surgery Eliminates multi-staged surgical procedures Applied topically (atraumatic) Significantly improves cosmetic results Pre-surgical skin expansion using ABRA Adhesive Skin Closure enabled wide excision and subsequent primary closure of cutaneously based malignancies in many anatomical locations 1 ABRA Adhesive Skin Closure was used to pre-surgically expand skin around an 8.5x7.5cm scalp defect to allow complete excision and primary closure 2 Defect removed 1.

5 DynaClose Topical Skin Closure - Close Wounds without Grafts or Negative Pressure DynaClose provides an easy, painless and non-invasive method to close retracted or dehisced wounds up to 5cm in width. DynaClose provides a second chance at skin closure for failing wounds, wounds under tension, wounds at risk of dehiscing, or when reduction of wound area under management is desirable. An elastic adhesive fabric bonds to the skin while a silicone elastomer progressively pulls the wound margins together. Compatible with current wound care protocols. Pulls open wounds closed Achieves primary closure without sutures, staples, grafts or negative pressure For use above and below wound dressings Ensures high tension incisions remain closed Reduces pain by relieving incisional tension Promotes patient mobility Failed primary closure DynaClose applied Healed - No sutures

6 ABRA Adhesive Skin Closure Systems The ABRA Adhesive Skin Closure System provides non-invasive skin closure of retracted skin defects, leaving nothing behind except a sound primary repair. Indications Retracted skin defects Fasciotomies Compound fracture wounds Dehisced wounds Pediatric wounds Reinforcing high tension closures Sternotomies Hallmarks Achieves primary closure Eliminates needs for grafts and flaps Improves cosmesis Promotes patient mobility Reduces LOS and OR procedures Value Proposition Early results with ABRA Adhesive Skin Closure demonstrated cosmetically acceptable, delayed primary closure of difficult fasciotomy wounds 1 On an outpatient basis, using only ABRA Adhesive Skin Closure, sternal wound infections were closed without additional procedures 2 The staged closure of a giant neonatal omphalocele with ABRA Adhesive Skin Closure shows that it may also prove useful in the treatment of other congenital tissue defects 3 1.

7 ABRA Surgical Skin Closure Systems The ABRA Surgical Skin Closure System engage full-thickness skin and closes high-tension, retracted skin defects, leaving nothing behind except a sound primary repair. Indications Retracted skin defects Fasciotomies Compound fracture wounds Abdominal skin closure over mesh or hernia Hallmarks Normalized compartment pressure Restores normal skin integrity Achieves a primary closure Eliminates the need for mesh, grafts and flaps Reduces LOS and OR procedures Promotes patient mobility Value Proposition Achieves primary closure in 2.6 days at 91% rate* Fasciotomies were closed primarily in an average of 2.6 days using ABRA Surgical Skin Closure, several times faster than standard techniques and instead of covering with grafts 1 ABRA Surgical Skin Closure eliminates the need for skin grafting and provides excellent cosmetic result. Adjustment at bedside minimizes the need for multiple operations 2 Early results with ABRA Surgical Skin Closure demonstrated cosmetically acceptable, delayed primary closure of difficult fasciotomy wounds 3 Fasciotomy wounds were closed in an average of 5.6 days saving an average of $8,062 per patient over other methods 4 Cost savings of up to $28,000 per patient ($5,000 - $28,000 for various age groups), when ABRA is used for fasciotomies 5 * Dynamic wound closure for decompressive leg fasciotomy wounds.

Department of Surgery, Addenbrooke s Hospital, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom. Poster Presentation: 4th World Conference Abdominal Compartment Syndrome, Dublin, Ireland, June 25-27, Early Results Using a Dynamic Method for Delayed Primary Closure of Fasciotomy Wounds. Taylor RC, et al. Journal of the American College of Surgeons Nov;197: Canica Datasheet #1 - The study referenced in #3 was followed by an economic study, also done at The Ottawa Hospital (TOH) where the hospital and homecare costs of primarily closing an extremity fasciotomy with ABRA Surgical Skin Closure were compared against closing with a skin graft or a secondary closure with skin graft. From TOH chart review, fasciotomy wounds were closed in an average of 5.6 days and ABRA Surgical Skin Closure saved an average of $8,062 per patient over the standard treatment methods for fasciotomy closures. 5. Canica Datasheet #2 - Using data from TOH review, the US analysis shows an estimated cost savings of up to $28,000 per patient ($5,000 - $28,000) in the US for the various age groups, when ABRA Surgical Skin Closure is used for fasciotomies.

8 ABRA Abdominal Wall Closure Systems The ABRA Abdominal Wall Closure System restores the primary closure option or full-thickness, retracted mid-line abdominal defects. This dynamic tissue management system pulls muscle planes together under low tension while leaving fascial margins intact and ready to suture, for a sound primary closure. Indications Retracted, full-thickness midline abdominal closure after laparotomy for abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS), abdominal hernia, mesh removal, AAA, or abdominal trauma and for retention of abdominal wall closure Hallmarks Eliminates the hernia without the need for mesh and re-approximates the skin margins, eliminating the need to graft Restores domain Restores normal physiology Value Proposition In 92% of cases, full thickness primary closure of complex open abdomens was achieved in an average of 7 days 1-50% reduction in abdominal OR procedures (6.8 vs. 13.7) - 68% reduction in the number of days to any closure (15.8 vs. 50.1) - No skin grafts required when using ABRA vs. 43% of patients without ABRA required skin grafts - Estimated cost reduction of $12,370 to $47,070 per patient) ABRA Abdominal Wall Closure and NPWT is an easy and reproducible option for primary fascial closure following severe Abdominal Compartment Syndrome (ACS) 2 Achieve primary fascial closure following decompressive laparotomy using ABRA Abdominal Wall Closure 3 Using ABRA Abdominal Wall Closure resulted in a 95% reduction in wound area 4 ABRA Abdominal Wall Closure can restore lost abdominal domain and achieve complete repair of the musculofascial support of the abdominal wall, achieving primary closure 5 ABRA uses significantly fewer OR resources, 70% fewer trips to the OR and 76% less OR time because it is adjusted at bedside and allows bedside dressing changes 6 1.
