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 a 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.
