Key message from AGM 2016

”…not experimental… any longer…”

The situation
• 200 hundred million patients worldwide suffering from knee Osteoarthritis
• Lack of efficient and successful treatments prior tocomprehensive knee replacements (+65 yrs)
• Severe pain and weak mobility for decades before highly invasive treatment
• 6,5 million knee arthroscopies annually and 2,8 million knee replacements annually
8
Osteoarthritis is a joint disease, resulting in break-down of joint cartilage and the underlying bone, with the most common symptoms being joint pain and stiffness
Today there is no cure for osteoarthritis – Joint cartilage has poor capacity to regenerate

A global challenge
9
Osteoarthritis is increasing in prevalence on a global basis with millions of patients seeking treatment. In the North America and Europe, in excess of 5 million knee arthroscopies are performed annually
� OA occurs earlier in the middle age� Ageing population� Increase in obesity
Knee arthroscopiesKnee replacements
� Demand for an active lifestyle� Growing preference for shorter recovery time� Increase in demand for minimally invasive procedures

…followed by a look at the software products…
• The process starts with the patients’ MRIs…
• …and ends with a
3D model of the patients’ knee
• The result is used for designing
patient specific surgical guides and implants

The damage marking process (Epioscopy) is based on 3D-visualization of the knee
![Page 18: Addressing a global health problem - Episurf · 9/26/2016 · 1. The Orthopaedic industry annual report 2015, publish by Orthoworld 10 2.

…and planning the Episealer surgery
• The red area highlights the lesion
• The yellow guide
follows the anatomy and allows for a unique positioning
• Post surgery, the patient specific implant is in place, replacing the lesion
with new healthy articulating surface
18
The 3D-visualization is used for the damage marking, which underlies the design of patient specific guides and implants

How Episurf has solved the failure problem
� Lack of defined indication and/or weak bones/surrounding cartilage
� Edges from “almost perfect” fit creates damages on opposing cartilage
� Difficult surgery which easily can lead to errors in angle and depth, which create edges
� Screwing the implant into the bone through a 2-step methodology without bone assessment
� Risk of detachment of hat & peg
�Pre-surgical assessment to find correct indication – addressing the pain
�Patient specific to adjust to individual anatomy xxss
�Using patient specific guide instruments in order to achieve correct positioning and depth
�Press-fit methodology by drilling a hole and subsequent insertion of the implant
�A one-piece implant with HA and titanium
coating to create bone fixation
21
“Off-the-shelf” implants in the market have shown very weak clinical results. This has created a well-know failure problem which has been addressed by Episurf

Solid clinical results so far…
• High patient satisfaction
– Pain relief
– Increased mobility
– Increased quality of life
• Postoperative x-rays shows unchanged implant positioning
– Preserved joint space
– 0% revisions
• Strong support from active surgeons and increasing clinical acceptance
– Solid fit of guide and implants
– “Skin-to-skin” of approx. 30 minutes
22
Out of the total 124 surgeries that have been performed using Episealer, 4 patients have passed 3,5 years since surgery, and the total revision rate on all patients amounts to 0%

asking for the Episealer treatment he had undergone 6 procedures with no lasting effect, resulting in decreasing life standard with

– Up to 6 million people (visiting doctors) with articular cartilage
damage in the knee annually
– An ageing population with increase in obesity
– Financial strains on the healthcare economy
– Need for early treatment options with short rehab times
• Suitable health economic profile
– Healthcare consumers
– Paying for innovative solutions
• Episurf is in a preparation phase for introducing its
products and its technology on the US market
