Health Care & Hospitals Medical Pharmaceuticals Cosmetics and Personal Care Biotechnology Do not sell or share my personal information: OR LASER will present its new direct metal additive manufacturing platform and ecosystem developed and designed for small and medium enterprises 2017: At the upcoming RAPID + TCT exhibition and conference in Pittsburgh 2017) visitors to the show will be introduced to the new ORLAS CREATOR industrial metal additive manufacturing (AM) machine from German original equipment manufacturer Since the ORLAS CREATOR was first introduced to the European market at the end of 2016 the attention it has received from the market has been phenomenal due in no small part to the CREATOR’s unprecedented — and proven — price performance ratio and its accessibility attendees at RAPID will now have the opportunity to see the ORLAS CREATOR in operation for themselves Following the successful pre-order registrations at Formnext companies interested in pre-ordering the ORLAS CREATOR at RAPID will be afforded the same opportunity at an introductory price The CREATOR is due to go into production at OR LASER’s dedicated facility in Dieburg imminently OR LASER has considerable expertise in developing new and original industrial laser equipment and following in-depth market research the company was convinced that direct metal AM had tremendous potential for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) and medical sectors as well as for smaller engineering firms and laboratories this size of organisation has been priced out of the metal AM market with no commercially viable options available to them This is precisely the type of organisation that OR LASER had in mind when developing the ORLAS CREATOR which exhibits an impressive and contemporary design together with a build platform that is original in design and functionality and an innovative blade design that ensures smooth operation and increased build speeds that produce parts up to 30% faster than equivalent systems parts produced on the ORLAS CREATOR offer resolution comparable with higher spec machines on the market In terms of safe operation in smaller facilities the ORLAS CREATOR utilises an open cartridge materials handling system OR LASER has also worked hard on developing the right operating ecosystem for the ORLAS CREATOR with sophisticated software and interface developments This means that no third party software is required to run the machine and eliminates additional costs of running OR LASER intentionally minimises dependence on third parties across its operations — the company is not a machine integrator but rather a machine producer with more than 80% of the hardware produced in house as well Uri Resnik said: “We have been delighted with the market’s response to the ORLAS CREATOR and inundated with serious enquiries which shows us that the production of a smart fully capable metal 3D printing system at an accessible price point for

breasts over time DIEBURG, Germany, Sept. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- POLYTECH Health & Aesthetics GmbH, a global leader in breast aesthetics, announced today the market introduction of an expanded B-Lite® portfolio the world's first and only lightweight breast implants B-Lite® breast implants have many unique advantages for women with reported quicker recovery and reduced post-operative pain enabling patients to resume their daily routine more quickly The expanded portfolio includes additional shapes and surfaces - B-Lite® with MESMO® fine-texturing surface and B-Lite® with the unique Microthane® shell coating Watch the video: https://youtu.be/l46tjCDpWbs  "As the aesthetic market adjusts to the 'new normal' POLYTECH is increasing our R&D efforts and our investment in the future of our industry We are offering women and surgeons the first true innovation in breast aesthetics in nearly 30 years." stated Wolfgang Steimel Steimel added: "B-Lite® is proven to reduce pressure on breast tissue by up to 50%.  Whether for augmentation or reconstruction women want to have beautiful breasts over time but they don't want the extra weight.  Our new range now offers this unique advantage across every implant surface" B-Lite® implants reduce the long-term unwanted impact of implant weight and pressure on the breast tissue  This reduces the impact of gravity as the female breasts age reduce the dynamic forces on the breast tissues resulting in less stretching from movement and therefore providing greater daily comfort patient can have the desired increased breast volume with less total weight "We are really excited about the opportunity B-Lite® offers women In breast reconstruction you are treating women with already compromised breast tissue By reducing weight and pressure caused by traditional implants the new B-Lite® breast implants can offer new possibilities for reconstruction patients unwanted complications and unnecessary re-operations" stated Prof Chairman of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the Brussels University Hospital With a global footprint in over 80 countries POLYTECH Health & Aesthetics GmbH is an international leader in

Cosmetics accessible direct metal additive manufacturing system OR LASER believes that the dental industry will benefit hugely from the price/performance ratio of the ORLAS CREATOR 2017: The dental industry has long been a beneficiary of 3D printing with polymers for both direct and indirect production applications the dental market has also proved to be a prime target for metal additive manufacturing key barriers to adoption of metal AM within this sector is that many of the commercially available hardware systems operate within a large footprint they are too expensive for many dental laboratories to justify bringing in-house With the introduction of its new — and accessible — metal additive manufacturing (AM) system OR LASER believes it offers dental laboratories a economical solution to enable its clients to benefit from the advantages of metal AM Metal AM is a good fit for dental applications for a variety of reasons most notably the ability to customize every solution to patient specific requirements Further advantages include the fact that dental parts are invariably small and complex which aligns perfectly with the typically small build envelopes of commercially available metal AM systems; utilizing AM simplifies and shortens the production process ensuring patients are treated in much shorter time frames; the selective laser melting (SLM) process minimizes material consumption using only the material required for the part(s) being produced (plus support structures Compared with traditional dental production methodologies such as milling and lost wax casting the time and cost savings are highly significant metal AM systems that are commercially available today require huge capital costs which precludes many dental laboratories from considering the technology This is one area where OR LASER believes it can make a big difference for many dental companies from a trusted industrial hardware manufacturer which utilises the SLM process and offers economically viable direct metal AM without compromising speed Its unique circular build-platform design in combination with a proprietary rotation-led precision coater blade ensures high quality production of metal dental parts with a 30% increase in build speeds The ORLAS CREATOR is an end to end AM solution that has been designed and developed specifically to break down many of the existing barriers to adoption for dental companies which include complex software The ORLAS CREATOR is ideally suited for the direct production of bridges and implants utilizing industry approved dental materials This material exhibits the right combination of hardness corrosion protection and biocompatibility for dental applications at less than half the cost of comparable machines on the market comprehensive AM solution that incorporates in-house developed software innovative hardware and flexible process control combined to ensure that the system is both safe and easy to operate and manage in-house directly by dental companies Metal dental parts can be realized in as little as a few hours produced directly from digital data captured from the patient — without the investment of time and money into casting Part quality is facilitated by a high quality 250-watt fibre laser that provides exceptional beam quality and power stability and ensures optimum and consistent processing conditions in order to produce the specific OR Laser truly believes that the ORLAS CREATOR is a game changer for the dental industry The ORLAS CREATOR was launched at Formnext in Frankfurt in November OR LASER will unveil its new direct metal additive manufacturing platform and ecosystem 2016: At the upcoming Formnext exhibition in Frankfurt (15-18 November 2016) visitors to the show as well as the additive manufacturing (AM) industry itself will be introduced to the new ORLAS CREATOR metal additive manufacturing machine Unlike many other entrants into the AM sector OR LASER will not be demonstrating a development concept during its debut years ahead of roll-out — this is a fully working platform that will be 3D printing metal parts on the show floor With a production strategy in place and a well-earned reputation for meeting its machine production commitments OR Laser plans to begin shipping the ORLAS CREATOR in 2017 When OR LASER first began researching direct metal AM more than three years ago the main focus quickly became to make the technology capabilities more accessible Considerable market research demonstrated that metal AM had tremendous potential for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) This is precisely the type of organisation that OR LASER had in mind when developing the ORLAS CREATOR and the ecosystem around it With an impressive and contemporary design the ORLAS CREATOR is a contained hardware system The build platform is original in design and functionality an innovative blade design ensures smooth operation and increased build speeds that produce parts up to 30% faster the ORLAS CREATOR utilises a cartridge materials handling system Filled cartridges can be supplied by OR LASER but the company keenly recognises the need for an open material system With a firm belief that the market exists for a metal AM machine at this spec and price OR LASER is very much looking forward to introducing the machine at Formnext A launch event for press will be held 15 November The 2016 edition of Formnext will take place at Messe Frankfurt The event will feature the latest developments in additive manufacturing and how they complement and interact with conventional technologies This will uncover new potential in the entire manufacturing process Amongst the exhibitors are the world's leading manufacturers in additive manufacturing technologies OR LASER will make direct metal additive manufacturing more accessible and more affordable for more companies 2016: Today at the Formnext exhibition in Frankfurt the German firm OR LASER will unveil and launch a new powerful and more accessible metal additive manufacturing system — the ORLAS CREATOR The accessibility of the ORLAS CREATOR comes from the design of a metal additive manufacturing platform that is smarter faster and more cost effective than any other metal AM system currently available on the market • Flexible Process Capabilities: OR LASER’s solutions allow clients to individually customize key process parameters provided by the open platform strategy and comprehensive software suite developed in-house and negating the need for 3rdparty software Metal designs can be realised in only a few hours without the investment of tooling The company is now delighted to be able to share its experience and expertise with the additive manufacturing industry The ORLAS CREATOR platform being demonstrated at Formnext this week is a fully working system that is 3D printing metal parts on the show floor OR LASER already has a production strategy in place and plans to begin shipping the ORLAS CREATOR to clients in 2017 Visitors and press can find the ORLAS CREATOR on OR LASER’s stand at Formnext Please

implants from the French market 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- POLYTECH Health & Aesthetics an international leader in breast aesthetics and the only German manufacturer of breast implants released today its official response following the French Agence Nationale de Sécurité du Médicament (ANSM) recent decision to ban what it considers macro-textured implants and polyurethane-coated implants from the French market The decision is based on a possible association between textured breast implants and the development of BIA-ALCL (breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma).1 The new directive indicates that moving forward smooth implants and those implants that according to the ANSM's own classification are micro-textured - to which POLYTECH´s MESMOsensitive® counts - is approved for use in France.2 The company will continue to sell their POLYsmoooth® and MESMOsensitive® surfaces in France POLYTECH has officially expressed its objections to the conclusions of the ANSM despite the fact that microtextured and smooth implants are an integral part of the company's portfolio The ANSM decision is not based on any scientific proof and surgeons and their patients in France will now be offered very limited options that may not allow them to achieve a safe and optimal surgical result The company does completely agree with the findings and statements of more than 22 international Plastic & Aesthetic European Societies in more than 20 countries POLYTECH has recently broadened its product range and now offers the B·Lite® lightweight implant with a smooth surface as a unique and excellent alternative for surgeons and patients The company will also continue to offer their textured and PU coated implants which according to numerous scientifically valid clinical studies are safe and allow for lower rates of the most common complications "As a leading manufacturer of breast implants it is our obligation to educate both surgeons and patients on the subject of BIA-ALCL recent medical publications and our gathered knowledge," stated Wolfgang Steimel we take the appearance of BIA-ALCL very seriously we believe that a ban of textured and polyurethane-coated implants is a false decision in terms of the overall patient safety when it is based on the currently available facts" Mr POLYTECH also had the opportunity to present its position through the official industry representative of the Federal Association of Medical Technology e.V "As we review the information gathered to date there is no clear scientific evidence of an association between BIA-ALCL and a specific implant surface" it is impossible to rule out any implant type from a possible association with the occurrence of BIA-ALCL" This is confirmed by a recent update from the FDA dated February 6 that recorded a number of BIA-ALCL cases with smooth only implants there are approximately 660 recorded cases of BIA-ALCL with a seemingly higher occurrence in textured implants in thirty percent of the recorded cases there is no information on the type of implant concerned.4 A study by Loch Wilkinson et al is often quoted as reporting fifteen cases of BIA-ALCL with polyurethane implants.5 However these cases occurred with polyurethane-implants manufactured by a different manufacturer While the current BIA-ALCL risk is calculated by the FDA as between 1:3,000 and 1:30,000 6 the risk with POLYTECH implants is of 3:1,100,000 implants sold and the specific risk related to Microthane® is less than 1:160,000 is based on the reported cases and not on prospective lead to a significant increase in the number of reoperations due to higher capsular contracture rates Even though the French authority does not recommend nor even suggest the explantation of the banned implants patients may feel compelled to undergo reoperation and exchange their textured implants with smooth implants for fear of potential consequences - for which there is no scientific proof are per se higher than the BIA-ALCL risk according to published data." Mr "We believe that patient education should be transparent Patients education will enable them to make informed choices about their procedure and implant type" Mr "The different European authorities expressed their expectation that patient education and transparent information regarding BIA-ALCL and other possible complications will become a priority primarily for the surgeons We are already taking steps to make evidence-based information available to the public." The POLYTECH breast implant portfolio includes a wide variety of shapes and sizes two different types of textures and implants coated with polyurethane-foam (PU): marketed since the beginning of the 1970's the PU-foam that coats the implant is a three-dimensional matrix that has a different mechanical and biological interaction with the surrounding tissue compared with textured implants textured implants were developed in the 1980's to mimic the shape and benefits of PU-coated implants It is a very common conceptual error to consider PU-coated implants as textured implants The mechanisms related to tissue adhesion and fibrous capsule formation are fundamentally different from textured implants: this tissue interaction with the polyurethane fibres is key to the low rates of capsular contracture.7 * POLYTECH products are not sold in the US 1. https://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/ProductsandMedicalProcedures/ImplantsandProsthetics/BreastImplants/ucm239995.htm 3. https://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/LetterstoHealthCareProviders/ucm630863.htm 4. https://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/ProductsandMedicalProcedures/ImplantsandProsthetics/BreastImplants/ucm481899.htm "Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma in Australia and New Zealand: High-Surface-Area Textured Implants Are Associated with Increased Risk" 6. https://www.fda.gov/medicaldevices/productsandmedicalprocedures/implantsandprosthetics/breastimplants/ucm239995.htm 1991 "Polyurethane-Covered Mammary Prostheses: A Nine-Year Postimplant Assessment" Medical Equipment Deutsche Beteiligungs AG (DBAG) recently announced that it is investing alongside its advised DBAG Fund VI in Polytech Health & Aesthetics GmbH (Polytech) a provider of high-quality silicone im­plants DBAG and DBAG Fund VI will acquire a majority interest in Polytech in a management buyout (MBO); DBAG will hold approximately 18% in the company and DBAG Fund VI about 76% Polytech’s management will acquire the remaining shares The vendor is company founder Wilfried Hüser DBAG will invest up to EUR 12 million from its balance sheet for its interest The transaction is contingent on approval by the cartel authorities and the agreement is expected to be completed In November Following the investments in telecommunication and software provider Telio in December 2015 and Frimo Polytech is the third management buyout that DBAG structured alongside DBAG Fund VI in its current 2015/2016 financial year Polytech is the tenth investment entered into by DBAG Fund VI Polytech (www.polytechhealth.com) is a leader in the development and pro­duction of silicone implants in Europe the sole German manufac­turer of such products specialises in breast implants used in reconstructive and aesthetic plastic surgery The implants are manufactured exclusively at the company’s domicile in Dieburg (near Frankfurt where its staff of 170 work in development Interview -
