2 Xe Derma New Generation Biologic Dressing Basic Characteristics Indications is an acellular biological dressing made of porcine dermis. After removal of all cells, an original matrix composed of a mesh of collagen 1, 2, 3 and elastic fibres is remaining. Its natural 3D structure of collagen and elastic fibres promotes cell migration into the wound, their proliferation, differentiation, and forming of high-quality, multilayered and stratified neoepidermis. 2, 4 An original manufacturing process gives it biomechanical properties similar to these of the human skin. 1 Acute and Chronic Skin Defects o Burns II a / II b degree Skin graft donor sites III grade Covering meshed autografts Temporary cover for necrectomised areas before skin grafting II a degree burns natural 3D structure of collagen and elastic fibres Courtesy of Dr. Ondrej Tolde Hydrated ready to be applied on a wound o Other acute wounds requiring reepithelisation Large surgery wounds, fasciotomy Large abrasion wounds o Chronic Wounds Leg ulcers Diabetic foot Pressure ulcers Other chronic wounds in a phase when the epithelisation process needs to be stimulated II b degree burns Skin graft donor sites is registered in the EU (CE certification). Store at room temperature, shelf life: 2 years Covering necrectomised areas before skin autografting Covering meshed autografts Chronic wounds... for your patients future

3 Xe Derma Unique Biologic Activity Unique biologic activity thanks to its natural 3D structure of collagen and elastic fibres 1, 4 Promotes cell migration into the wound and their proliferation Stimulates keratinocyte differentiation to form a multilayered, stratified neoepidermis Biomechanical properties similar to those of the human skin thanks to an original manufacturing process 1, 4 Spontaneous adherence to the wound bed by creating fine fibrin links between and the wound bed 1, 4 Resistant to shear forces on the wound during the healing process 1, 4 High elasticity making application on various body parts (face, joints,...) reliable 3, 4 Strong haemostatic effect and body fluid loss reduction 1, 2 High tensile strength 2 at minimum thickness,1 mm One-time Application Minimising primary dressing 1, 3, 4 re-applications Minimising wound infection risk 1 Reducing pain 1, 4 Reducing anaesthetics consumption and number of procedures under general anaesthesia 1 Spontaneous peeling-off after healing 1, 3 Transparency enabling wound monitoring 1 Safety Acellular tissue immunologically inert 1, 3 Sterilised by beta radiation no risk of retroviral infection 1, 3 Original 3D structure of collagen and elastic fibres stimulates keratinocyte proliferation to form a high-quality, multilayered, stratified neoepidermis. 2 In vitro Keratinocytes cultured on grew to form a multilayered epidermis differentiating into stratum basale, spinosum and granulosum. In vivo Normal skin HMWCK A1 p 63 Keratinocytes cultured on A2 Immunohistology analysis demonstrated p 63 protein expression typical for basal cells. : keratinocytes cultured using the same method on equine collagen (Biopad ) grew in a chaotic manner and no multilayered neoepidermis was formed. Note: histologic examination carried out 2 weeks after cultivation Healing of wound after necrectomy treated with A3 Healing of wound after necrectomy treated with tulle gras (Grassolind ) A4 o 1, 2, 6 High quality neoepidermis o 1, 2, 6 Speedy healing process, shortening time to healing o Safety and reduction of patient burden due o 1, 3, 4 to therapeutic procedures o Saving time of health care professionals 4 o Reducing overall healthcare costs 4 B1 B2 Keratinocyte growth and differentiation are similar in vitro and in vivo for a deep burn covered with. A covered wound shows stratified neoepidermis formation within 1 week (A3, B3). The control sample covered with tulle gras (Grassolind ) does not epithelise (A4, B4). The p 63 protein is vital to cell proliferative potential and plays a key role in keratinocyte differentiation. 5 Cells are able to grow and differentiate mainly on collagen-containing biological dressings. Nevertheless, even among these, differences have been observed, depending on the collagen fibre structure, purity, type of sterilization etc. 2 B3 B4 Expression of keratinocyte differentiation markers (HMWCK, p 63, involucrin, CD29) in a Xe-Derma-covered wound in vivo demonstrates neoepidermis stratification and confirms Xe-Derma s therapeutic potential.

Main Advantages of Treatment Comparable healing time for significantly larger injured area Excellent adherence and minimised need for primary dressing re-application reduce the risk of infection, pain, analgesics consumption, and need for procedures under general anaesthesia Significantly lower material consumption per 1 cm 2 healed (p =.2) Collagen and elastic fibres in a natural 3D matrix stimulate cell migration from residual dermal adnexa to the wound area and their proliferation These results confirm conclusions of other studies regarding s positive effect on the growth, proliferation, and stratification of epidermal cells 6 Shortening epithelisation time is important for reducing early and late wound healing complications in patients with extensive burns 6 In the case of extensive burns, the use of widely meshed autografts supported with can significantly shorten the overall therapeutic process is an efficient alternative for synthetic dressings used in children. 1 Synthetic material lack biological activity typical to xenografts and biologic dressings. 2 The unique combination of properties ensures high quality of the healing process and newly formed epidermis.

6 Xe Derma Application Protocol Xe Derma Bibliography 4 Simple Steps 1. Clean and prepare the wound area using standard methods, so that the wound is clean of all impurities and / or necrotic tissue. If necessary, collect a sample for microbiological examination. 2. If necessary adjust the dressing size using sterile scissors in a manner to make it exceed slightly the wound edges. 3. Hydrate for 1 3 minutes prior to application (e. g., in saline, water for injection or Ringer solution). Apply hydrated Xe-Derma on the wound. For large wound areas, use several pieces as necessary, and make their edges slightly overlap. 4. Over, apply secondary dressing such as you normally use (e. g., tulle gras and Furantoin- or 3 % boric-acid-soaked gauze, then outer dry gauze dressing). Note: 1. Do not use in the case of high wound-infection risk. 2. Make sure to remove all necrotic tissue prior to applying. If this is not properly done, may not adhere to the wound, and the treatment may not be successful. 3. Poor patient compliance (excessive movement, etc.) during the first 24 hours may negatively impact adherence to the wound bed. Post-Application Assessment Perform secondary dressing replacement as usual. If sticks firmly to the wound, replace carefully only the secondary dressing. will peel-off on its own when the wound will have healed. If the patient is febrile, inspect the wound. If Xe-Derma adheres to the wound, replace only the secondary dressing. If exudate is accumulating under, remove (if necessary, hydrate it with saline) and collect a sample for microbiological examination. In case of wound infection or deterioration remove and replace it with another type of treatment.
