BUSINESS SUMMARY 
SyntheMed, Inc., a biomaterials company, engages in the development and commercialization of medical devices for therapeutic applications. The company develops various products based on its proprietary bioresorbable polymer technology. It offers surgical implants designed to prevent or reduce the formation of adhesions/scar tissue following a range of surgical procedures. The company’s lead product includes REPEL-CV Bioresorbable Adhesion Barrier (REPEL-CV), a bioresorbable film designed to be placed over the surface of the heart at the conclusion of surgery to reduce the formation of post-operative adhesions. The REPEL-CV is also used in reducing the severity of post-operative adhesions in pediatric patients who are likely to require reoperation via sternotomy. SyntheMed also develops the RELIEVE category of viscous gel products for preventing or reducing post-operative surgical adhesions after spinal surgery. The company was formerly known as Life Medical Sciences, Inc. and changed its name to SyntheMed, Inc. in May 2005. SyntheMed was founded in 1990 and is headquartered in Iselin, New Jersey.
