About Pulse Biosciences
Pulse Biosciences is a novel bioelectric medicine company
committed to health innovation that improves and extends the lives
of patients. The Company utilizes its patented groundbreaking
Nano-Pulse Stimulation™ (NPS™) technology to treat a variety of
applications for which an optimal solution remains unfulfilled. NPS
is a proprietary technology that delivers nano-second pulses of
high amplitude electrical energy to non-thermally clear targeted
cells while sparing adjacent non-cellular tissue. The cell-specific
effects of NPS technology have been validated in a series of
ongoing clinical trials. In addition, early pre-clinical evidence
suggests that the NPS technology holds a promising future in
immuno-oncology by demonstrating an ability to induce immunogenic
cell death. The CellFX System, the first planned commercial product
to harness the distinctive advantages of NPS technology, is
preparing to launch in 2019 as a multi-application platform
designed to address a broad range of dermatologic conditions. As
part of the customer experience, the Company is offering an
utilization-based revenue model and easy-access customer portal
offering a suite of services. CellFX procedures offer customer
value across an expanding spectrum of clinical applications. The
initial commercial use will be the clearance of common skin
lesions, including sebaceous hyperplasia (SH) and seborrheic
keratosis (SK) – two prevalent and difficult-to-treat benign skin
conditions that share high demand among patients and practitioners
for improved and durable aesthetic outcomes that lead to greater
overall satisfaction. For more information about Pulse Biosciences,

Stimulation (NPS) technology are for investigational use only.
