FDA Approval of LiquiBand^® Rapid™

Winsford, UK - 10 March 2020: Advanced Medical Solutions Group plc (AIM: AMS), the surgical and advanced woundcare specialist company, today announces that it has received 510(k) approval from the US FDA ("Food and Drug Administration") for the Group's LiquiBand^® Rapid™ product.

The product will be commercialised immediately via one of AMS's main US partners and will upgrade this partner's offering. The Group expects LiquiBand^® Rapid™ to enable AMS to regain ground with an improved product. LiquiBand^® Rapid™ is a further portfolio extension of AMS's LiquiBand range, with a faster drying time than comparative products and multiple uses in operating room and emergency room settings.

Chris Meredith, Chief Executive Officer of AMS, commented: "The approval of LiquiBand^® Rapid™ is an important development for our LiquiBand product range. Innovation remains a key driver of organic growth for the Group and this approval demonstrates the capabilities of our internal R&D and regulatory teams. The Group remains confident of the growth potential for the LiquiBand^® range alongside multiple other woundcare and surgical opportunities including those arising from the acquisitions of Biomatlante and Sealantis."
