Gothenburg, Sweden. 8 January 2025. Mölnlycke Health Care, a world-leading MedTech company specialising in wound care solutions, announced today an investment of USD 8 million in Siren. The healthcare tech company Siren is on a mission to help reduce the risk of diabetic foot ulcers by early detection of potential injuries through temperature-sensing textile technology. About 830 million people around the world suffer from diabetes1, living with the risk of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) and amputation. Siren has developed “the Siren sock” as well as remote patient monitoring clinical teams, creating a service ecosystem for patients at risk of DFU. The system has been clinically proven to reduce the risk of ulcers by up to 68%2 and amputations by 83%2. This means less suffering for patients and is estimated to lower the cost of care by approximately USD 10,000 per patient annually. In addition, the workload for physicians is reduced, which is increasingly important in the pressurised healthcare environment. “Our strategic investment in Siren reflects our commitment to integrating into digital ecosystems and pioneering innovative digital solutions that revolutionise healthcare delivery,” says Zlatko Rihter, CEO of Mölnlycke and continues “Helping to prevent wounds from occurring is also in line with Mölnlycke’s Wound Care mission to ‘help free patients from the burden of wounds’ and our ambition to further support healthcare in the post-acute segment.” “We’re excited to team up with Mölnlycke to tackle diabetic foot ulcers at their earliest stages”, says Ran Ma, co-founder and CEO of Siren. “By investing in preventive technologies like ours, Mölnlycke is demonstrating real vision and leadership in helping patients avoid the debilitating consequences of diabetic foot ulcers. Their investment sends a clear message that prevention matters. By catching issues before they escalate, we can help patients stay healthy and independent, reduce unnecessary procedures, and ultimately make a real difference in their lives.” This investment marks a significant step forward in the fight against diabetic foot ulcers, combining Mölnlycke’s expertise in wound care with Siren’s innovative technology. Together, the aim is to enhance patient outcomes, reduce healthcare costs and alleviate the burden on healthcare providers. -Ends-  For more information, please contact:  [Contact card] Sofia Lindqvist About Siren Siren is at the forefront of smart wound care technology, specialising in innovative solutions that revolutionise the way diabetic foot ulcers and other wound types are prevented and managed. Through its unique blend of technology, clinical evidence, and patient-centered design, Siren is dedicated to enhancing quality of life and reducing healthcare costs for patients worldwide. www.siren.care About Siren’s solution Siren has developed a technology for integrating sensors into a yarn that can be converted into textiles. The technology has been incorporated into temperature-sensing socks for monitoring diabetic patients for early signs of DFU by detecting hot-spots on the feet. The socks are fitted with Bluetooth connectivity, battery and an accelerometer tracking patient movement.  Besides the physical socks, Siren has also established a remote patient monitoring team of home-based wound care nurses. The sock continuously tracks patients and sends alerts to the remote care team on any signs of hot spots development and allows for an early triaging and intervention, enabling the Siren to minimize false positives and reduce physician workload.

Gothenburg, Sweden. 19 November 2024. The Cebu Comprehensive Cleft Care Center of Excellence is now officially inaugurated. This milestone is a result of the longstanding partnership between Mölnlycke and Operation Smile – a global non-profit charity organisation. The centre will bring comprehensive care to people born with a cleft lip or palette (CLP) in the region and is expected to serve 10,000 patients in the first three years of its operations. The incidence of babies born with cleft lip and cleft palate is higher in South-East Asia than in other regions globally. The new clinic will offer life-changing surgeries and comprehensive cleft care to patients in the region where access to healthcare services is difficult. “The support from Mölnlycke in establishing the centre is grounded in our commitment to ensure equitable access to healthcare for all and the vision we have for achieving sustainable healthcare. A part of this vision is making the centre self-sufficient, and that includes raising the level of knowledge of the local healthcare professionals in the areas where Mölnlycke can offer expertise”, comments Eric de Kesel, COO & EVP Sustainability, Mölnlycke. “Cleft patients continue to be stigmatised and we are delighted to be able to contribute to changing their lives and fully including them in society,” he adds. “This clinic is a milestone for us, but also for cleft care globally, as it is also a training hub. In a rather lengthy construction project, our partner Mölnlycke has supported us financially while, in parallel with the construction, we have jointly created and rolled out a training programme with innovative methods and solutions,” says Emiliano Romano, Executive Director, Operation Smile Philippines. “Together with some of our volunteers, clinical specialists from Mölnlycke are training the local healthcare professionals in areas such as infection prevention.” The Cebu Comprehensive Cleft Care Center of Excellence is located at the Cebu City Medical Center (CCMC) hospital, in the Philippines. It is a 2,000 m2 state-of-the-art facility providing an optimal environment for delivering comprehensive CLP services, including speech therapy, dental and psychosocial care - in addition to the areas supporting the surgical flow, in alignment with the vision of surgical care that Mölnlycke and Operation Smile share. It is also fully manned by the local healthcare workers. -Ends- For more information, please contact: [Contact card] Sofia Lindqvist   About Operation Smile Operation Smile is a leading global nonprofit bridging the gap in access to essential surgeries and health care, starting with cleft surgery and comprehensive care.
