Cearna in exploring a transac&on for OcuMend in aesthe&cs, dermatology and plas&c surgery markets to maximize value
Benefits of a transac&on
Posi&oning
Value Considera&ons
The Issue • Extreme bruising and swelling are side
effects in dermatology, plas&c and reconstruc&ve surgery following various non-‐invasive and invasive procedures
• 3 most common therapies (JAMA 2013) – Eleva&ng the head – Ice – Arnica
• Previous arnica products were weak, ineffec&ve and inconsistent
The Solu&on • OcuMend® Clinically proven to
reduce bruising • Arnica: Only ac&ve that addresses
bruising, pain and swelling • Patented Ultra-‐penetra&ng
Nanotechnology • 50X the potency
Ac&ve Ingredient Arnica • Sesquiterpene Lactones inhibit the P65 subunit thus preven&ng transcrip&on NF-‐Kappa B1,2,3
• Shuts down the inflammatory cytokine pathway

OcuMend reduces bruising, leading to quicker recovery
Strong KOL Support • “Most pa9ents who have experienced pronounced bruising in the past experience li=le to no
bruising with the use of these arnica-‐infused patches. OcuMend has quickly become an integral part of my post-‐injec9on protocol.” Tina Alster M.D.
• My pa9ents...benefit from the use of OcuMend... it seems to help drama9cally. They come back to see me one week later with very li=le bruising. In fact, I have seen a pa9ent on 3 days aJer surgery who had significant bruising right aJer the surgery and she was almost clear of any ecchymosis (bruising). Wendy Lee M.D.
• “The use of OcuMend has decreased the amount of bruising and swelling in the post-‐opera9ve period. This has led to a no9ceable improvement in the recovery of my cosme9c blepharoplasty pa9ents.” William Mack, M.D.
