1 WITH ENDEXO TECHNOLOGY ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS DESIGNED TO IMPROVE PATIENT OUTCOMES DESIGNED TO IMPROVE OUTCOMES* COST EFFECTIVE

2 ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY DESIGNED TO IMPROVE OUTCOMES* Reduces the risk of thrombus accumulation on implantable vascular devices from 83% to 96%. * Reinventing the standard of care by reducing the risk of thrombus accumulation. EVOLVE TO ADVANCED CATHETER TECHNOLOGY COST EFFECTIVE Reduction in thrombus accumulation results in a decrease in catheterrelated thrombus/ occlusions and the associated costs. Vascular access procedures are one of the most common procedures performed on patients in hospitals. AngioDynamics is committed to creating strategic partnerships with healthcare institutions to address today s changing healthcare environment by developing advanced technology that are safe, cost effective and designed to improve * The Endexo catheter is designed to reduce thrombus accumulation. The reduction of thrombus accumulation (based on platelet count) is supported by acute in-vitro testing. Pre-clinical in-vitro evaluations do not necessarily predict clinical performance with respect to thrombus formation. patient outcomes.

3 COMMON VASCULAR ACCESS DEVICE COMPLICATIONS THROMBOSIS OCCLUSION PICC-related upper extremity DVT occurs at an average rate of %1 with an average cost of $15,9732 per incidence. 25% average occlusion rate, most frequent complication of vascular access devices.3 Single dose of thrombolytic $ * CATHETER-RELATED INFECTIONS Estimated 250,000 blood stream infections occur annually in the United States, resulting in significantly higher mortality rates and costs in hospital inpatients.5 *Market price for single dose of CathFlo 1.

4 MICHIGAN APPRORIATENESS GUIDE INTRAVENOUS CATHETERS Selecting a vascular device will always be a nuanced clinical decision. But a little bit of MAGIC almost certainly helps... Naomi O Grady, MD This work represents an important achievement the first time so many specialties were brought together to focus on vascular access... Lisa Gorski, RN Our research is focused on: (a) understanding drivers of PICC use and preventing inappropriate insertion; (b) developing statistical models that predict PICC complications; and (c) designing and implementing interventions to prevent adverse events such as occlusion, thromboembolism, and infection. We work closely with a number of key partners to achieve these goals. ADDRESSABLE COMPLICATIONS: PICC-RELATED We ve gravitated towards using this device [PICC] over central venous catheters for good reasons, and it may still be the best choice for some people. However, our findings suggest that patients and physicians should carefully review the risks and benefits when it comes to placing PICCs, especially with respect to blood clots. Our study shows that this risk may be higher than previously recognized and suggests that there is no one-size-fits-all approach when considering use of these devices. Vineet Chopra, MD For healthcare quality officers and payers, MAGIC is highly relevant because it will facilitate measuring practice and inform quality improvement efforts... Scott Woller, MD MAGIC is a set of recommendations that defines when a particular vascular access device is appropriate for use. Written by 14 of the world s foremost experts and a patient, MAGIC covers the most commonly used IV devices, indications, patient types, and settings for use. In the world of vascular access, there is nothing else like it.

5 HISTORY OF VASCULAR ACCESS MATERIALS EVOLVE TO ENDEXO TECHNOLOGY SILICONE POLYURETHANE COATED IMPREGNATED ENDEXO

6 COATED Catheter coatings are present on the catheter surface and known to elude off once they are placed inside the body and begin to lose their platelet adhesion resistance. IMPREGNATED Impregnated catheters claim to offer thrombusreducing properties in their pores, leaving the surface vulnerable to platelet adhesion. EVOLUTION TO ENDEXO ENDEXO Unlike other technologies that are superficial and/or transient, Endexo technology is present for the life of the catheter. EVOLUTION OF CATHETER TECHNOLOGY The Endexo polymer mixes with carbothane completely without altering the base properties. Due to the lower surface friction of the Endexomodified polymer, the material becomes essentially invisible to normal biological defense mechanisms. Thus platelet accretion, clot formation and histochemical reactivity is significantly reduced. 1 Endexo alters the surface chemistry of the device. 2 The surface reduces the rate of bioaccretion. 3 Endexo mixes into the parent polymer seamlessly. The non-stick characteristics of the Endexo material and resultant catheter construction reduce the adherence of blood components, such as platelets and thrombus. Not containing heparin, the Endexo technology may help to minimize complications associated with heparin. Additionally, the Endexo technology does not contain antibiotics or antimicrobial agents, aiding to reduce potential complications associated with bacterial resistance. The Endexo material is throughout the catheter (i.e., inside, outside and cut surfaces) and remains for the life of the device. In fact, the exposure of the BioFlo PICC to simulated implant flow conditions (i.e., temperature, flow, ph and time) demonstrated that the Endexo polymer concentration within the BioFlo PICC did not degrade or change over extended durations.
