Increasing Awareness of Massive Potential for Placental Tissue October 10, 2024 Her Face Was Unrecognizable After an Explosion. A Placenta Restored It. “Research has found placenta-derived grafts can reduce pain and inflammation, heal burns, prevent the formation of scar tissue and adhesions around surgical sites and even restore vision. They’re also gaining popularity as a treatment for the widespread issue of chronic wounds.” “…Tending to such wounds can be a matter of life and death for the millions of people with them, including 10.5 million Medicare beneficiaries as of 2022…” “…The five-year mortality rate for people with one type, a diabetic foot ulcer, is close to 30 percent. That rate rises above 50 percent for those who require amputation.” Investor Presentation – January 2025 8
