Certification Applies to ReCell®, ReGenerCell® and
ReNovaCell®

Avita Medical Ltd. (ASX: AVH),
(OTCQX: AVMXY),
a medical device company specializing in the treatment of wounds and skin
defects, today announced it has received CE Mark authorization to market in
Europe that will allow it to define and target its autologous cell suspension
technology for particular clinical market segments.

 

The approval follows and
expands the previous CE Mark approval of
ReCell®, a medical device that has mostly been deployed for
treating burns. Under the new CE Mark,
ReCell®, will remain focused on
acute wounds such as burns. A
new presentation,
ReGenerCell®, will target chronic wounds, such as
venous leg ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers. And a third presentation,
ReNovaCell®, will be aimed at the aesthetic arena, and will cover conditions
linked to pigmentation, as well as scar revision. The two new offerings have
been added to an updated CE certificate.

 

The three offerings will
vary in the size of wound they can cover, but will all deploy the same
approach: a safe means of converting a small sample of a patient’s skin to
create Regenerative Epithelial Suspension ™, which has been shown to be
effective in treating all three condition areas.

 

 “The CE Mark approval to introduce ReGenerCell®
and ReNovaCell® to our European markets will give greater clarity to medical
professionals who use our regenerative
medical treatment,” said Adam Kelliher, Chief Executive Officer of Avita
Medical. “This will allow us to focus on the particularities of each
condition.”

CE Mark signifies
that products sold in the European Economic Area have been assessed to meet
high safety, health, and environmental protection requirements.

Avita Medical’s proprietary
ReCell®, ReGenerCell® and ReNovaCell®, technology allow physicians to quickly create, at
point of care,
Regenerative Epithelial Suspension (RES™) using a small sample of the patient’s skin that can
then be applied to the skin defect as treatment. The devices are typically used
in conjunction with traditional methods.

 

ABOUT
RECELL®, REGENERCELL®. RENOVACELL®, AND RES™

Avita Medical’s unique proprietary technology enables a clinician to
rapidly create, at point of care in approximately 30 minutes, Regenerative
Epithelial Suspension (RES™) using a small sample of the patient’s skin. RES™
is an autologous suspension comprising the cells and wound healing factors
thought necessary to regenerate natural, healthy skin. RES™ has a broad range
of applications and can be created using specific Avita Medical devices and
applied to select treatment indications:

 

·             ReCell®
for burn injuries, to repair for earlier definitive closure and superior
outcomes;

·             ReGenerCell® for
chronic wounds, to initiate
and promote healing in unresponsive wounds;

·             ReNovaCell®
for skin pigmentation defects,
to restore pigmentation and improve the appearance of scars and damaged skin.
