INTRODUCTION Modern wound care is a complex process supported worldwide by obtuse and heterogeneous funding and reimbursement systems. Wound care is an integral part of all areas of healthcare and all types of practice, and the patient population encompasses the spectrum from infants to the elderly. Wound care may involve acute wounds (e.g., trauma and surgical incisions) or chronic wounds (e.g., pressure ulcers, or vascular or diabetic ulcers).i Currently, chronic wound and ulcer management remains one of the most costly healthcare challenges. ii In the US alone, complex wounds affect more patients than heart attack and stroke combined, involving 5-‐7 million patients and over $20 billion in healthcare expenditures. These complex wounds result in approximately 150,000 amputations a year, with about 80,000 of these attributable to diabetes and peripheral arterial disease.iii It is estimated that, globally, biofilm infections alone are over 14 million, accounting for more than 350,000 deaths.iv

The fundamental paradigm of moist wound healing, a passive approach utilizing dressings and technology to create the appropriate conditions for healing and then letting the wound heal itself, has not shifted significantly since its inception more than 40 years ago.v The longevity of this paradigm is in part because, in most cases, this model is successful. However, this success does not extend to the most challenging complex wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers and those on limbs with critical limb ischemia. Notwithstanding the widespread incidence and complex nature of wounds and wound care, and the development of national, regional, and international guidelines, relatively few patients receive state-‐of-‐the-‐art or optimal wound care, even in developed countries.1 However there have been recent indications that this paradigm is beginning to shift as new molecular and genetic information regarding wound healing and scar development,vi,vii and microbiologic information regarding biofilm production and delayed healing, become available.4 Wounds from surgery and trauma are by far the most common types of wounds and, with millions of surgical procedures performed annually worldwide, the market for wound care products and technologies for surgical wounds alone is significant. Other major drivers for the wound care industry are aging of the population and advances in biotechnology are major drivers for the wound care industry. As the population ages there will continue to be increased demand for surgical interventions, and diabetic ulcers are expected to continue to form one of the largest sectors of this market. As healthcare lumbers slowly towards personalized medicine, there is also an increasing emphasis being made on personalization of wound care, a major shift from previous generic treatment methods. Increasingly, physicians are directly administering Advanced Wound Care Management products for the treatment of both chronic and acute wounds, leading to greater success in terms of wound healing. These factors, combined with a drive towards home healthcare in an effort to gain cost efficiencies while improving patient outcomes, acceptance and reimbursement from third-‐party payers, increasing professional expertise in administering advanced wound management products, improved cost effectiveness, and technological advances in the treatment of wounds, are all expected to drive the market over the next five years and beyond.viii

From: Worldwide Wound Management, 2009: Established and Emerging Products, Technologies and Markets in the U.S., Europe, Japan and Rest of World. MedMarket Diligence. September 2009. The U.S. wound management market was valued at just under $5 billion in 2009, while the global market was valued at over $20 billion.ix The global demand for wound management is expected to increase 4.6% per year through 2013 to approximately $28.7 billion.x The market includes therapeutic support surfaces, static and dynamic compression therapy, moist, advanced, and interactive wound dressings, wound closure devices, hemostats, tissue sealants, and anti-‐adhesion. The internal tissue management sector comprised 40.8% of the overall market in the US in 2009, with expected growth in this sector to 49.2% by 2016 as the divide between external and internal healing diminishes. This change is attributable to the movement of companies traditionally involved in durable medical equipment and medical disposables to the biologic surgical markets.xi

Demand in developing countries is expected to expand at a faster rate than in developed countries, although approximately 75% of the total increase in the wound management market will be in developed countries due to advanced medical delivery systems and widespread insurance coverage of residents for primary care procedures.10 Wound closures will remain the largest segment of the wound management market, with world demand expanding 3.5 percent annually to $11.1 billion in 2013, although advances in minimally invasive technologies are expected to inhibit demand beyond this level. 10,xii Global demand for wound dressings is expected to increase 5.4 percent annually through 2013 reflecting the broad indications of this sector. In addition, infection control standards, which promote more frequent changes of wound dressings, in combination with increased utilization of biological and synthetic wound dressing materials, support favorable global projections for wound dressings.10 Advanced Wound Care Management in the form of emerging wound care products and technologies are well-‐positioned to capitalize on growth, with bioengineered growth factors and negative pressure devices showing the fastest gains in demand.10 Advanced Wound Care Management technologies mimic the body’s natural physiology and/or regenerative pathways and include tissue-‐engineered skin substitutes, synthetic and harvested regeneration matrices, autologous grafts and biologically active cellular therapies.xiii These technologies first emerged in 1999 as treatment for refractory wounds, and today there are a number of products currently available, with others in pre-‐clinical or clinical development. Recent developments include changes in synthetic dressing materials (e.g., hydrocolloid, hydrofibre, hydrogel, alginate, foam, and film); Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT); Antimicrobial Wound Dressings (e.g., silver-‐based dressings); and Advanced Therapies (tissue engineering such as xenogeneic tissue scaffold, bilayered human dermal substitutes, and use of embryonic stem cells; bio-‐interactive dressings; collagen-‐based dressings; and hyaluronic acid and growth factors).xiv In addition, surgical techniques such as endoscopic subfascial ligation of venous perforators, endovascular arterial repair techniques, have become important in surgical and trauma wounds.xv The Bioengineered and Advanced Wound Care Management market is experiencing continued growth, as aging of the population in developed countries leads to increasing numbers of chronic wounds due to conditions such as diabetes which are forecast to grow worldwide during the next fifteen years.2 Advanced Wound Care Management technologies and therapies currently in research/pre-‐

market/early market stage include: ultrasound wound cleaning, activated collagen, manuka honey, noncontact normothermic wound therapy, tissue-‐engineered skin substitutes and growth factors.14 French researchers have demonstrated a method of using human embryonic stem cells to create new skin that could help victims of serious burns by having readily available temporary skin with a low level of rejection.xvi Other recent studies indicating the ability of these technologies to facilitate healing in otherwise non-‐healing wounds and to improve patient outcomes places them on a competitive field in terms of total treatment costs despite their increased individual costs. It is expected that the number of indications for, and third party payer acceptance of, these next-‐generation Advanced Wound Care Management technologies will drive significant growth through 2015.2 In the Advanced Wound Care Management market segment, tissue-‐engineering products have a very small market share with $71.8 million in revenues in 2008, a growth rate of 11.6%, and a market share of 20.6% of overall revenues. Bio-‐interactive dressings generated the highest revenues in 2008, with 79.4% share of overall revenues. The tissue engineering segment accounted for 20.6 per cent of the overall revenues. Another significant area for expected future growth within the Bioengineered and Advanced Wound Care Management market is the development of biomarkers for healing, for differentiation between causes of non-‐healing, for determination of biofilm or differentiation between planktonic and biofilm phentoype bacteria, and for determination of susceptibility of wound to biomechanical stimulation of healing from technologies like NPWT. NPWT is also expected to show continued growth as the home healthcare equipment market continues to develop.8 The global NPWT market, with 2009 estimates at $640 million, is expected to show growth of 8.2% annually over the next seven years, reaching $1.1 billion by 2016. Drivers for this growth will primarily be an increasing incidence of chronic wounds, diabetes, and an aging population. Although the US remains the largest NPWT market valued at $380.6m in 2009, it is forecast to grow by 7.7% annually for the next seven years to reach $594.6m in 2016.xvii However, most of the demand through 2016 will be originating from EU economies, creating a shift in the center of global NPWT market activity. Italy, France and Germany are expected to show faster NPWT market growth than other market sectors, with an expectation to contribute 21% by 2016, driven by an increasingly diabetic population and improvements in diabetes and wound management.8,17

Europe currently appears to be the global leader in integrating advanced wound management therapies into the traditional therapy market.14 However the lack of standards and the lack of common organizations across EU member states have hindered market development, leading to the development of EU-‐wide organizations such as the Advanced Wound Care (AWCS) of Eucomed (European Medical Technology Industry Association). In addition, the move toward home health care acts as a market restraint until the healthcare systems better fund reimbursement for these treatments. Conversely, as EU healthcare systems continue a paradigm shift from traditional to high-‐tech treatment modalities, the cost-‐effectiveness of Advanced Wound Care Management therapies and technologies, including their ability to be used as part of home treatments, will increase in importance as a market driver. Consolidation of the market has increased the ability of companies to fund research and development, as well as overcome the regulatory hurdles of each of the EU members, allowing for more rapid introduction of new therapies. The UK, having wider acceptance of Advanced Wound Care Management technologies and therapies by the medical community, and reimbursement of all phases of treatment, has the highest revenue share of any EU market (approximately 28.2%), closely followed by Germany at 27.8%.14 Market penetration in the rest of the EU, where market share currently ranges from 17.8% in France to about 5-‐8% in the rest of the EU, is expected to increase by 2015.14 The EU market is currently more favorable towards equipment-‐based and other advanced therapy modalities than towards traditional advanced moist dressings for chronic wound healing.14

METHODOLOGY Harrison Hayes proposes to begin the project by meeting with CLIENT X’s project team to conduct due diligence and review currently available information. The purpose of this meeting is to verify the scope of the assignment, answer questions, and review the timeline. Harrison Hayes actively engages our clients in collaborative, interactive dialogue throughout the project. We suggest weekly meetings to review and assess the direction and progress of the project.
METHODOLOGY KOLs
The project will begin with a customized Key Opinion Leader Primary Qualitative Research Module designed specifically for CLIENT X. Key Opinion Leaders (“KOLs”) are recognized experts in the Advanced Wound Care Management industry. We will look to these KOLs to provide valuable insight into the best mechanisms for leveraging of adjacencies to core competencies in Advanced Wound Care Management particularly, but not exclusively, in Europe. The KOL questionnaire will be developed through a collaborative effort with CLIENT X in order to ensure that the focus of this project is being properly addressed. The questionnaire is to be used as a platform for exploration and discussion. All interviews will be conducted directly by Harrison Hayes’s Principals and Research Team who have the autonomy to probe deeper and maneuver through unique issues that arise during discussion with the KOLs – what we refer to as improvisational interviewing. Our Research Team is able to select the most appropriate questions to ask each KOL due to our extensive knowledge and involvement with the project’s goals. These interviews are conducted individually, which allows us to focus directly on the expertise that each KOL possesses. Improvisational interviewing yields valuable qualitative interview data unlike structured interview surveys. Instead of merely moving from question to question, our Research Team is able to adapt based on KOLs’ response to questions, thus obtaining additional insight.

METHODOLOGY Secondary Research
To complement our Primary Qualitative Key Opinion Leader research we will concurrently perform secondary research from syndicated, internal, and public sources. We believe secondary research will provide us with useful data regarding current and future trends in advanced wound care technology particularly, but not exclusively, in Europe. We will look to uncover macro trends impacting CLIENT X’s core competencies and future opportunities, with a focus on Mid-‐Term opportunities and trends. Our Secondary Research Methodology and its role in the project’s outcome are discussed in further detail below. Harrison Hayes believes that through the effective marrying of primary KOL insight and secondary research – along with our partnership with the CLIENT X project team – we can obtain uncommon insight into the potential to determine how best to leverage core competencies in Advanced Wound Care Management particularly, but not exclusively, in Europe. Our research module begins by concurrently identifying and recruiting a customized panel of Key Opinion Leaders (Tables 1 and 2) and developing a project specific Key Opinion Leader questionnaire (Table 3). Please note that the questions in Table 3 are examples and not all-‐inclusive of what we will ultimately ask.

METHODOLOGY Secondary Research Harrison Hayes has an extensive proprietary database of secondary
research that will add exceptional value to obtaining a complete understanding of key methods in leveraging current and future Advanced Wound Care technologies and therapies that are compatible with CLIENT X’s core competencies both in Europe and globally, and with a focus on the Mid-‐Term. Harrison Hayes will provide a thorough ideation of whitespace opportunities within core adjacencies of all Advanced Wound Care Management ecosystems for CLIENT X in order to chart out pathways, timelines and capabilities with newly ideated technologies and therapies, including market outlook, profitability, national and international policy outlook, technology development and utilization, market entry and expansion timing, launch strategy, and expansion method. Subsequent content will provide some interesting findings uncovered from preliminary secondary research.

Syndicated Harrison Hayes has established relationships with a variety of syndicated information providers within the Advanced Wound Care Management technology, medical, and biotechnology fields particularly, but not exclusively, in Europe that are complementary to the core adjacencies of CLIENT X’s current business portfolio.
Publicly Available
Harrison Hayes conducts significant market research within the public domain. We have expertise in identifying key data through journal and trade publications, online subscription databases, Advanced Wound Care Management technology and therapy research data hubs, proprietary data sources and archival research. Internal One of Harrison Hayes’s key assets is the research previously conducted that resides “in-‐house”. Our ability to leverage this data significantly reduces the time constraints associated with providing the required deliverables.
TRENDSPOTTING Trendspotting is a form of trending analysis focused on identifying
unmet needs and emerging opportunities that may provide near-‐term and intermediate-‐term value generation within one or more of the Advanced Wound Care Management technologies and therapies. Trending analysis that is focused on identifying the potential of leveraging current and future Advanced Wound Care Management technologies and therapies that are compatible with CLIENT X’s core competencies particularly, but not exclusively, in Europe, requires primary and secondary research to uncover emerging patterns and useful data. We do not guess trends; we detect, analyze and evaluate them to make evidentially supported projections. For this project, our challenge is to determine the useful data regarding the potential of leveraging current and future Advanced Wound Care technologies and therapies that are compatible with CLIENT X’s core competencies particularly, but not exclusively, in Europe and have significant potential for return on investment. Because CLIENT X’s KOLs have significant insight into the current state of Advanced Wound Care Management technologies and therapies in Europe and globally, they are on the cutting edge of trends and function as valuable resource for understanding real-‐world process evaluation and improvement. Examples of trends that we would like to uncover include:
24 CLIENT X -‐ Whitespace Ideation Study:
Mid Term Opportunities Within Wound Care -‐ Confidential
• Cutting edge approaches and new technologies which identify the potential of leveraging Advanced Wound Care Management technologies and therapies particularly, but not exclusively, in Europe, that are compatible with CLIENT X’s core competencies
• Future trends influencing Advanced Wound Care Management technologies and therapies particularly, but not exclusively, in Europe, that are compatible with CLIENT X’s core competencies
• Changing trends in Advanced Wound Care Management technology and therapy regulatory policy particularly, but not exclusively, in Europe
Trending research is an integral part of a successful research initiative, and Harrison Hayes is confident our trend spotting methods will afford CLIENT X the necessary insight on industry dynamics particularly, but not exclusively, in Europe regarding the identification of current and near-‐ to mid-‐term Advanced Wound Care Management technologies and therapies that are compatible with CLIENT X’s core competencies.

FINAL REPORT Our final deliverable for this project is an Internalized Strategy
Report(“Strataject Report™”). The Strataject Report™ is the culmination of all primary and
secondary research and activities, which have taken place over the duration of the engagement. This report serves as an action plan illustrating the information that will afford CLIENT X the necessary insight on customer industry dynamics regarding identification of unmet needs and emerging opportunities in order to leverage current and mid-‐term Advanced Wound Care Management technologies and therapies particularly, but not exclusively, in Europe that are compatible with CLIENT X’s core competencies. Harrison Hayes will provide a thorough review of the European and Global Advanced Wound Care Management Markets including internal and external drivers and inhibitors, and a review of the business issues, barriers and challenges of the current markets in order to understand those new and emerging opportunities that may provide near-‐term and intermediate-‐term value generation. Harrison Hayes will make recommendation of core competency compatible adjacencies with a particular but not exclusive focus on Europe that can be leveraged for near-‐term and intermediate-‐term value generation. Harrison Hayes will also make recommendation of strategies to leverage patient and physician acceptance, and reimbursement, of current and innovative technologies and therapies in the European and Global Advanced Wound Care Management Market. Harrison Hayes will schedule a time to present and discuss our findings and recommendations to CLIENT X. During this meeting we will discuss in detail our front-‐end research, our findings, and our recommendations for CLIENT X including areas of areas of highest relevance for identification and leveraging of unmet needs and emerging opportunities within the Advanced Wound Care Management technologies and therapies with a particular but not exclusive focus on Europe. Harrison Hayes will also provide a thorough review of market drivers and inhibitors, an analysis of critical success factors, identification and detailed assessment of the opportunities and challenges, and an evaluation of near-‐term and intermediate-‐term value generation including revenue generation and expected return on investment within the European and global Advanced Wound Care Management Market.
