VALENCIA, Calif. & MELBOURNE, Australia

AVITA Medical (ASX: AVH, OTCQX: AVMXY) announced today new data to be presented describing clinical and cost-savings advantages of RECELL® Device in the treatment of severe burns at the American Burn Association (ABA) 50^th Annual Meeting to be held from April 10 through 13, 2018 at the Hyatt Regency Chicago in Chicago. This is the first time clinical investigators are presenting the full effectiveness and safety data from the two pivotal trials used to support AVITA Medical’s U.S. PreMarket Approval (PMA) application for the treatment of burn injuries.

RECELL Device is an investigational medical device developed by AVITA Medical and designed to facilitate skin regeneration for the treatment of burns and other wounds while reducing the amount of skin harvested at the time of surgery. Reduction in donor site skin requirements has important benefits from both clinical and health economic perspectives.

One of the RECELL Device pivotal studies has been selected as a top five abstract for presentation during a plenary session at the ABA conference. Researchers also will present the positive results from other clinical studies and the conclusions from a model showing the health economic benefits of RECELL Device.
