12 TECHNICAL DATA Overview Symbotex composite mesh was designed to offer patients optimized ventral hernia repair performance. It has a number of versatile properties that make it an appropriate choice for ventral hernia repair. The dual-sided mesh is designed to help optimize tissue integration and minimize visceral attachments. The dual-sided 3-D mesh features: 1 Nonabsorbable 3-D monofilament polyester textile 2 Bioabsorbable hydrophilic film made of porcinebased collagen and glycerol 11 The nonabsorbable textile side is placed against the fascia. It provides excellent tissue integration. 2 The bioabsorbable visceral film side minimizes tissue attachment to the viscera in the event of direct contact by physically separating the polyester textile of the mesh from organs. The 3-D structure of the mesh reinforces textile strength6 and provides significant tissue ingrowth support. 7 Accuracy of placement is facilitated by a dyed monofilament marking (D&C Green No. 6) on the center of the textile that helps the surgeon center and orient the mesh. 1,4,8 Responding to what matters to surgeons, we lead the way in innovative products for hernia repair. 12

13 Clinical data Clinical Literature In 1996, the landmark product Parietex composite mesh was launched. Symbotex composite mesh is an evolution of Parietex composite mesh and Parietex optimized composite mesh with an improved antiadhesion barrier and a monofilament parietal layer with larger pore size. The longevity of our Parietex composite mesh has allowed users to publish a significant amount of human data proving the long-term outcomes of our products. Forty-eight clinical articles accounting for a total of 37 distinct clinical studies have been retrieved and analyzed for Parietex composite mesh. Intraperitoneal treatment of incisional and umbilical hernias using an innovative composite mesh: four-year results of a prospective multicenter clinical trial Balique JG, Benchetrit S, Bouillot JL, et al. Hernia. 2005;9(1): Adhesion Results of a Prospective Multicenter Clinical Study Where Parietex Composite Mesh Was Used The study included 80 patients with mean follow-up of 4 years (range, 3.5 to 4.5). After 12 months, 86% of the patients were ultrasonically adhesion-free. At 48 months, no occlusion, fistula, or mesh sepsis was reported in the long-term follow-up. There was one direct recurrence (1.8%) and six* indirect recurrences (10%). 80 patients, 48 months Polyester-based mesh for ventral hernia repair: is it safe? Rosen MJ. Am J Surg. 2009;197(3): Results of a Retrospective Clinical Study Using Parietex Composite Mesh The study included 109 complex ventral hernia repairs. Polyester mesh provided distinct advantages for ventral hernia repair, with excellent tissue incorporation and minimal shrinkage. In the open repair group, three wound infections (13%) occurred. For patients undergoing laparoscopic repair, there were no delayed mesh infections, fistulas, or hernia recurrences at mean follow-up of 14 months. 109 patients, 14 months Long-term results of laparoscopic repair of incisional hernias using an intraperitoneal composite mesh Moreno-Egea A, Bustos JA, Girela E, et al. Surg Endosc. 2010;24(2): Results of a 12-Year Prospective Clinical Study Using Parietex Composite Mesh The study included 200 patients with mean follow-up of 6 years (range, 1 to 12). Postoperative pain was limited. No mesh infections were detected, including in those who received intestinal injury repair. Eleven recurrences (6.2%) were diagnosed. 200 patients, 6 years Long-term outcomes of 1,326 laparoscopic incisional and ventral hernia repair with the routine suturing concept: a single institution experience. Chelala E. et al. Hernia Feb; 20(1): Results of a Retrospective Study of Visceral Attachments and Recurrence Using Parietex Composite Mesh On a second-look follow-up of 126 patients (9.5%), 45.23% were adhesion free, 42.06% had minor adhesions classified as Muller I, and 12.69% had serosal adhesions classified as Muller II. In second-look patients, the authors observed a well-vascularized neoperitoneum that covered homogeneously the entire mesh and protected its edges against edges. A recurrence rate of 4.72% over the total 1,101 controlled patients. 1,326 patients, 126 secondlook cases, 78 months * Only one necessitated new surgery 13

Before resorption of the collagen barrier Transversal section 1 week after implantation Abdominal wall Mesh deep thread Collagen barrier Neoformed mesothelial layer Mesh superficial thread Value proposition with preclinical evidence After resorption, a neoperitoneum is formed on the visceral surface. 6 Proven Protection with Collagen Barrier 8,13 In an animal study comparing meshes with and without a protective barrier: Collagen-protected meshes had significantly fewer visceral attachments vs.nonprotected meshes (p < 0.01) Complete recolonization of the mesh and film resorption occurred in the collagen-protected group after 45 days The collagen barrier remained intact after 7 days. Small bowel adhesion was never observed in all groups receiving the composite mesh After resorption of the collagen barrier Transversal section 6 weeks after implantation Intimate attachment of the mesh to the wall Differentiated tissue ingrowth Differentiated tissue ingrowth Abdominal wall Mesh deep thread Mesh superficial thread Based on pre-clinical animal data 14
