Velico Medical expands plasma products portfolio with intellectual property
acquisition of Entegrion Inc’s Resusix product portfolio.

Leading blood science company, Velico Medical has completed a deal with North Carolina based,
Entegrion, for the intellectual property, trade secrets and spray drying technologies of their pooled,
pathogen reduced, dehydrated plasma product, Resusix.
The Resusix technology yields a dehydrated plasma product derived from the pooling and solvent
detergent (S/D) treatment process via spray drying. The reconstituted product has a coagulation
profile that meets the rigorous standards set in EU Pharmacopeia for S/D plasma. With an extended
shelf life of more than two years, the longer storage capacity breaks the cold chain restrictions of
frozen blood plasma.

“Acquiring the Resusix product portfolio supports our continued efforts to solve critical unmet
needs in transfusing these life-saving blood products for both military and civilian use and
represents opportunities for significant savings for the healthcare delivery system”
stated Richard Meehan, President and CEO of Velico Medical.
“With the efforts and commitment of the Velico Medical leadership we believe that this valuable
fresh frozen plasma alternative will become available to patients in need and offer an greater level
of safety improving patient outcomes.” said Dr. Christopher Rumana, Chairman of the Board for
Entegrion.
