01/The Gap

A market worth$1.1 to 2.5 billion,with no product in it.

Every major category in aesthetics has a company that makes the product. Autologous fat transfer, the largest natural volume procedure, has none: the product is the patient's own tissue, so it is delivered entirely as surgery.

02/The Boundary

Every category has a maker. Except one.

The Platform

Step 1:

Less than one gram.

A needle biopsy

A needle biopsy captures the patient's own fat. No liposuction, no operating room.

Step 2:

A thousandfold.

The patient's own cells, expanded roughly 1000× into living, manufactured tissue.

ETB-001 syringe

Step 3:

ETB-001.

One manufactured biologic: the patient's own living tissue, in a syringe.

Step 5:

$1.1 to 2.5 billion

One platform across every indication, into a U.S. fat-transfer market delivered until now only as surgery.

Step 4:

The only manufactured fat transfer.

One autologous platform, across every indication.
