2 Inspired. by the Body. Powered. by Electricity. Energized. by Results. INTRODUCING Procellera Procellera from Vomaris is the world s only microcurrent generating antimicrobial wound dressing. Used in multiple clinical wound care applications, Procellera provides sustained broad-spectrum antimicrobial 8 efficacy and an optimal environment for wound healing. 7 Vomaris Innovations, Inc. is an electroceutical company specializing in microcurrent generating solutions for the wound care market and beyond. Vomaris flagship FDA-cleared product, Procellera, is a powerful example of the company s ongoing mission to develop and deliver evidence-based, patient-focused and cost-effective solutions, backed by a commitment to quality and innovation for the improvement of lives.

3 Inspired by the Body Electricity is Essential to Healing The body naturally creates and uses electrical energy to promote healing. 1 Transepithelial Potential An electric potential exists across intact skin. 2-4 Microcurrents Wound ZINC Zinc SILVER Silver Procellera is the only antimicrobial wound dressing powered by Advanced Microcurrent Technology Electrical Field in Tissue When skin is wounded, a change in electric potential occurs. This stimulus is the earliest guidance signal to initiate cell migration and re-epithelialization, and is essential to wound healing. 5 Versatile Application Procellera is used for broad indications across acute and chronic wounds: Superficial and full-thickness wounds Surgical incisions Donor and/or recipient graft sites First and second degree burns Diabetic, pressure and venous insufficiency ulcers

4 Powered by Electricity Augmenting the Body s Natural Healing Process Procellera Wound Dressings are an entirely new generation of wound and incision care solutions. Advanced Microcurrent Technology Designed to mimic physiologic electric currents, Procellera s embedded microcell batteries generate microcurrents in the presence of a conductive medium 6 to harness the power of electricity to support the body s natural electrical healing process. 7 Schematic representation Generates physiologic levels of microcurrent (2-10µA) that are known to be necessary for healing 1 Flexible and portable with no need for external power source Conformable & Comfortable Conforms to wound for maximum mobility and comfort Easily cut to fit Available in a variety of configurations, including Procellera Helix composite dressings and Procellera Rx non-adhesive single-layer dressings Broad Spectrum Antimicrobial Efficacy Procellera s antimicrobial 8-10 protection creates an optimal environment for wound healing. 7 Provides effective and sustained antimicrobial efficacy 11 Kills a broad spectrum of harmful pathogens, including multi-drug resistant 8 and biofilm-forming bacteria, 9-10 to help reduce risk of infection No silver release into the bloodstream 6

5 Energized by Results Optimizing Outcomes Studies have shown Procellera to reduce the risk of infection 8-10 and promote the healing process 7 to optimize outcomes. Reduce Risk of Infection Effective, sustained broad-spectrum antimicrobial efficacy for up to seven days 11 Prevents bacterial growth 10 Electricidal antimicrobial efficacy vs. silver alone 10 Procellera Silver Only Live/dead fluorescence staining demonstrates bacterial killing of P. aeruginosa within Procellera compared to a standard silver-based dressing at 24 hours. Red = dead Green = alive Week 1 Post-op Promote Healing Improved scar appearance vs. standard dressings 13 Prospective case series; Skin graft harvest sites (N=13) Standard of Care Procellera 0 Hour 9 Hours Provide an Optimal Environment for Wound Healing Keratinocyte migration vs. silver observed at 9 hours, in-vitro scratch assay 7 Procellera 0 Hour 9 Hours Silver Only

6 vo mar is The company name is derived from nature s remarkable ability to generate electricity when voltage potential (vo) combines with a conductive medium like saline (mar, meaning the sea in Spanish). This creates the catalyst for its microcurrent generating technologies that are redefining the wound care market. References: 1 Nuccitelli R. A role for endogenous electric fields in wound healing.
