What we thought initially

• ~400,000 Hemodialysis pts in US

• ~80,000 pts with AV Graft

• Target is ~50% of market

TAM = 400,000 pts

SAM = 80,000 pts

Target = 40,000 pts Source: US Renal Data Service, 2013 Annual Report

What we thought initially

• Affinity’s graft would be so good we could increase market share of grafts

TAM = 400,000 pts

SAM = >>> 80,000 pts

Vascular Access

• Long term vascular access critical for hemodialysis

• Arteriovenous (AV) grafts common but suboptimal option4

Interventionalist

• Nephrologist (loosely) owns the patient

• Vascular surgeons typically choose access type• Sometimes

Piggy-Back our MVP on MarketedGore Triple-Layered AcuSeal™

• “Sandwich” coating between layers

• Newer product = smaller market share

Revisited the Graft Market

• CPT Code: ~$1000 reimbursement

• $40 million Target Market

• PMA likely costs $10s of millions…

Wrap

Adapted from Paulson WD et al. Nephrol Dial Transplant (2012);27: 1219-1224

OR Fistula

Potential wrap market is ≥ 3X AV Graft market size!

What’s next?• Freedom to Operate

• Continue vetting drug-eluting AV graft and wrap MVPs

• Talk with Gore re: interest (possibly Bard)

• Cultivate relationship with KOL Dr. Timmy Lee at UAB (Interview 116)

• Potential clinical and commercial relationship.

• Use Sales and Medical Science relations to build out KOL and Institutional relationships

• Harvard-associated hospitals

• Washington University/Barnes-Jewish

• University Hospital at Case Medical Center
