RLS Global AB (publ) Announces First Patient Included in New Clinical Investigation on Pressure Ulcers RLS Global AB's new clinical investigation with ChloraSolv for the treatment of pressure ulcers includes six clinics in Sweden, Finland and the UK. The first patient was enrolled on September 1 at a clinic in the UK. The investigation has been approved by authorities in all three countries. Pressure ulcers belong to the group of hard-to-heal wounds and cause much suffering and high costs worldwide. Studies show that pressure ulcers affect as many as over 10 (6-27)% of all hospitalised patients in Europe (ref). Previous investigations have shown that ChloraSolv is effective and safe in the treatment of hard-to- heal leg ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers in need of debridement. This investigation is being carried out to extend the use of ChloraSolv and thus the opportunity to help even more patients. ChloraSolv is a debriding gel, based on a unique hypochlorite technology, which is used with very good effect on leg ulcers and diabetic foot Ulcers. The gel allows the gentle removal of devitalised tissue and promotes natural wound healing. ChloraSolv does not damage healthy tissue and is well tolerated by the patient. Board Change • Sep 06

RLS Global AB Presents Data About Chlorasolv and its Rapid Response and High Efficacy on Biofilm RLS Global AB announced that it presents data about ChloraSolv and its rapid response and high efficacy on biofilm at the EWMA (European Wound Management Association) Conference in November, RLS will present data where technology has been evaluated in an ex-vivo wound model with results on biofilm. The evaluation was carried out together with RISE, Research Institute of Sweden. Biofilm is challenging in Wound Management. Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are two common bacteria that form biofilms in chronic wounds. A biofilm is formed by a high number of bacteria that protect themselves through a secretion of a viscous barrier. One consequence of biofilm formation is that the individual’s ability to kill bacteria through their immune system is hindered. Another consequence is that the bacteria is protected from antibiotics and several antiseptics. The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of ChloraSolv on these two bacteria. The results show that ChloraSolv has a rapid effect on both bacteria. In Staphylococcus aureus biofilm, 33% of the bacteria were killed in 30 seconds and more than 81% in five minutes. The effect on Pseudomonas aeruginosa is more immediate and kills more than 95% after 30 seconds. After five minutes, 97% of the bacteria are gone from the wound model. To follow up on these results, RLS initiated a research program together with scientists from Lund University. The purpose is to investigate ChloraSolv’s effect on new biofilm models. The aim was to investigate biofilm reduction in the treatment of chronic wounds, but also in new clinical areas such as dermatology and burns. The results so far are very promising and will be published in a scientific journal.
