ABOUT AVITA MEDICAL, INC.

innovative treatment solutions derived from the regenerative properties of a patient s own skin. The medical devices work by preparing a RES REGENERATIVE EPIDERMAL SUSPENSION, an
autologous suspension comprised of the patient s skin cells necessary to regenerate natural healthy epidermis. This autologous suspension is then sprayed onto the areas of the patient requiring treatment.
AVITA Medical s first U.S. product, the RECELL System, was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) in September 2018. The RECELL System is indicated for use in the treatment of acute thermal burns. The RECELL System is used to prepare Spray-On Skin Cells using a small amount of a patient s own skin, providing a new way to treat severe burns, while significantly reducing the amount of donor skin required. The RECELL System is designed
to be used at the point of care alone or in combination with autografts depending on the depth of the burn injury. Compelling data from randomized, controlled clinical trials conducted at major U.S. burn centers and real-world use in more than
10,000 patients globally reinforce that the RECELL System is a significant advancement over the current standard of care for burn patients and offers benefits in clinical outcomes and cost savings. Healthcare professionals should read the
