18 Woven Gauze Characteristics Favorable Highly Absorbent Good for debridement Autoclavable Predictable properties Large volume of historical data Unfavorable Lint Loose thread Increasingly high cost 18

19 Synthetic Nonwovens Characteristics Favorable Highly Absorbent Economical No lint No loose thread Unfavorable Not suitable for wound debridement Increasingly high cost of Rayon Not autoclavable 19

20 Ideal Base Material for Wound Care Products Combining the favorable characteristics of cotton and nonwoven materials: Absorbent Natural cotton feel Good for debridement Autoclavable Economical and stable pricing No lint No loose thread Environmental friendly Low bioburden level and Pyronema free 20

21 Introducing PurCotton™ Nonwoven Cotton Launched in 2006 by Winner Medical Group. Proprietary and patented spunlace process. Manufactured in ultra modern facility in Huanggang, China Made with USA grown cotton. 21

39 Physical Properties Summary for PurCotton™ A wide range of properties Basis weight Absorption capacity Tensile properties Aperture White or color 39

40 Superior Characteristics of PurCotton™ over Gauze Sponge Low Lint and no loose thread Better for wound debridement Very low bioburden level Pyronema free High bleaching temperature and long duration USA grown cotton 40

41 Nonwoven Cotton/PET Blend Launched in 2007 More economical than PurCotton (100% Cotton nonwoven) Marketing need for an alternative to Rayon/PET blend: Rapidly increasing prices for Rayon More eco-friendly material 41
