ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Company Overview

United Health Products, Inc. (“UHP”, “we” or the “Company”) develops, manufactures, and markets a patented hemostatic gauze for the healthcare and wound care sectors. Our gauze product, CelluSTAT®, is derived from cotton and designed to absorb exudate/drainage from superficial wounds and help control bleeding. We are in the process of seeking regulatory approval to sell our hemostatic gauze product line into the U.S. Class III and European CE Mark human surgical markets.

Developments

FDA Updates

We are continuing on our path to seek FDA Premarket Approval (PMA) for our CelluSTAT Hemostatic Gauze products to implement our business strategy.

In March 2024, we submitted a full application for Premarket Approval to the FDA. The FDA responded in June 2024 with a “Deficiencies Letter” listing approximately 40 specific comments and requests for additional information covering the device description, sterility & shelf life, clinical & performance testing, and biocompatibility sections of the PMA application.

From September 23 through October 4, 2024, the FDA conducted a Bioresearch Monitoring Program (BIMO) Inspection of our records and procedures relating to our 2019 clinical study, following which the FDA delivered its Inspectional Observations on Form 483.

In October 2024, the Company and FDA conducted a virtual meeting to discuss the Deficiencies Letter and our follow-up questions. During the discussion, the Company noted the results of its 2019 clinical trial involving 232 patients (of whom 118 were treated with its hemostatic gauze) that showed statistically superior performance in time to hemostasis using CelluSTAT over Ethicon’s Surgicel Original, the standard of care. The study results also showed no evidence of heterogeneity of results across procedure categories, surgeons, or clinical sites, indicating both poolability and generalizability of study results. The Company also noted that none of the adverse events that occurred during the study were attributable to its hemostatic gauze product.

Notwithstanding the safety record from the original clinical study, the FDA requested more data to confirm the safety and effectiveness of CelluSTAT in surgical procedures in the intestinal and thoracic organ space, where the FDA was concerned that organ movement could impact the post-operative stability of a hemostat and where observation of post operative rebleeding is more difficult. To address this concern, we have proposed conducting a supplemental study, with patients undergoing open surgical procedures within the intestinal and thoracic organ space.

On October 25, 2024, we submitted our response to the FDA’s observations. On March 24, 2025, the FDA issued a Warning Letter that described five violations of applicable regulations that occurred during the planning and execution of the 2018-19 clinical study. These violations included: 1) failure to submit an IDE application to the FDA and failure to obtain FDA approval prior to beginning an investigation for which FDA’s approval is required, 2) failure to ensure proper monitoring of the investigation, 3) failure to monitor and ensure clinical investigators’ compliance with the study protocol and failure to terminate investigator’s participation in the study following non-compliance, 4) failure to immediately conduct an evaluation of any unanticipated adverse device effects and failure to report results of such an evaluation to the FDA and to the appropriate IRB, and 5) failure to maintain accurate, complete, and current device shipment and disposition records.

In response to the Warning Letter we conducted an analysis and investigation into root causes of these violations and developed Corrective and Preventative Actions (CAPAs) to address them, which we submitted to the FDA on April 14, 2025. In addition, we engaged an external monitor to review certain of the clinical data gathering during the clinical trial to report on the accuracy and reliability of the data, which we also submitted to the FDA in June and September 2025.

On December 10, 2025, the FDA issued a CAPA Assessment Letter that provided feedback on our response to the Warning Letter and our proposed CAPAs to address the violations that occurred during the 2019 study. In the letter, the FDA sought additional detail surrounding the Company’s 2018 correspondence with the WCG Institutional Review Board (IRB) regarding its approval of our clinical study, specifically relating to the FDA’s findings that the Company had modified certain FDA correspondence that it had presented to the IRB. In addition, FDA recommended that UHP conduct an audit of our processes, procedures and personnel (both internal and outside consultants) to ensure that the Company is able to ensure good clinical practices (GCP) when conducting a clinical study.

On January 5, 2026 we submitted to the FDA revised CAPAs and a proposal to conduct the recommended GCP Audit, and on February 16, 2026 submitted a report on our investigation of the 2018 IRB communications and a proposal for a third party monitor of our communications with the FDA and any IRB going forward to ensure the accuracy and regulatory compliance in these communications. On March 4, 2026 we held a Submission Issue Request (“SIR”) videoconference with the FDA to confirm their approval of our proposed collaboration with an established hemostatic device company wherein this company could serve as substitute Sponsor in a new pivotal IDE study of our CelluSTAT product, which the FDA did approve. On March 6, 2026, the FDA communicated their approval of the external audit firm that we had proposed on February 16 to conduct a GCP Audit of our procedures, process and personnel. This audit is expected to be completed by the end of July, 2026.

The timing to resolve the FDA Warning Letter is uncertain and we may not proceed with the clinical study requested by the FDA until its resolution. However, we are in discussions with the FDA and with potential corporate partners regarding a collaboration that would allow a partner to serve as substitute Sponsor of a CelluSTAT study, with UHP having an exclusive Rights to Reference to the study data for inclusion in a future PMA application. This plan would allow the study to be conducted concurrently with our ongoing efforts to resolve the Warning Letter, including the above mentioned GCP Audit.

There can be no assurance that our planned PMA application will be approved.

Financing with Alumni Capital

On December 16, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Alumni Capital LP (“Alumni”), pursuant to which Alumni provided a loan to the Company in the amount of $289,267 on a 15% original discount basis, evidenced by a senior convertible promissory note (the “Note”). The Company received net proceeds of $250,000. The Note bears no interest and matures on December 31, 2026. Subject to the terms of the Note, Alumni may convert the outstanding principal and accrued interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.06039 per share. Alumni has agreed to limit its beneficial ownership of the Company’s common stock to less than 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares. In connection with the transaction, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement requiring the Company to register the resale of shares underlying the Note.

On the same date, the Company also entered into an Any Market Purchase Agreement (“AMPA”) with Alumni. Under the AMPA, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Alumni up to an aggregate of $4,000,000 in value of the Company’s common stock from time to time through December 31, 2027, subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement. The purchase price of shares sold under the AMPA is based on a discount to the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock over a specified trading period prior to each purchase notice. In connection with the AMPA, the Company issued Alumni a five-year warrant to purchase up to 3,484,321 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.07462 per share.

On January 15, 2026, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register the resale of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable under the Note and the AMPA. The SEC declared the Registration Statement effective on January 30, 2026.

Our CelluSTAT Gauze Products

CelluSTAT Hemostatic Gauze (formerly branded as HemoStyp) is a natural substance created from chemically treated cellulose derived from cotton. It is an effective hemostatic agent registered with the FDA for superficial use under a 510(k) approval obtained in 2012 to help control bleeding from open wounds and body cavities. The CelluSTAT hemostatic material contains no chemical additives, thrombin, collagen or animal-derived products, and is hypoallergenic. When the product comes in contact with blood it expands slightly and quickly converts to a translucent gel that subsequently breaks down into cellulose and salts. Because of its benign impact on body tissue and the fact that it degrades to non-toxic end products, CelluSTAT does not impede the healing of body tissue as compared to certain competing hemostatic products.

CelluSTAT hemostatic gauze is a flexible, silk-like material that is applied by placing the gauze onto the bleeding tissue. The supple material can be easily folded and manipulated as needed to fit the size of the wound or incision. In surface bleeding and surgical situations, the product quickly converts to a translucent gel that allows the physician or surgeon to monitor the coagulation process. The gel maintains a neutral pH level, which avoids damaging the surrounding tissue. In superficial bleeding situations, CelluSTAT can be bonded to an adhesive plastic bandage or integrated into a traditional gauze component to address a broad range of needs, including traumatic bleeding injuries and prolonged bleeding following hemodialysis.

Potential Target Markets

Our CelluSTAT material is currently cut to several sizes and configurations. While we have paused our commercial activities to focus on our Class III PMA application, our potential customer base includes, without limitation, the following:

·

Hospitals and Surgery Centers for all Internal Surgical usage (in the event we obtain FDA Class III approval)

·

Hospitals, Clinics and Physicians for external trauma

·

EMS, Fire Departments and other First Responders

·

Military Medical Care Providers

·

Hemodialysis centers

·

Nursing Homes and Assisted Living Facilities

·

Dental and Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Offices

·

Veterinary hospitals

Primary Strategy

Our CelluSTAT technology received an FDA 510(k) approval in 2012 for use in external or superficial bleeding situations and we believe there is an opportunity for CelluSTAT products to address unmet needs in several medical applications that represent attractive commercial opportunities. However, the Class III human surgical markets, both domestic and international, represent the most attractive market for our products due to the smaller number of competitors offering Class III approved hemostatic agents and the resulting premium pricing for products that can meet the demanding requirements of the human surgical environment. We believe that our extensive laboratory testing and our completed human trial indicate that the CelluSTAT technology could successfully compete against established Class III market participants, and could gain a significant market share. As described above, we are in the process of seeking FDA pre-market approval for our CelluSTAT product. There can be no assurance that an FDA PMA will be granted.

In anticipation of receiving a Class III PMA (which cannot be assured), we are evaluating paths to rapidly develop and grow our revenue and profits in all target market segments, with the objective of maximizing shareholder value. We do not intend to pursue the full commercialization of our products independently nor to remain an independent company in the long term. Options under consideration include (i) a sale or merger of the Company with an industry leader in the wound care and surgical device sectors, which may include a pre-sale collaboration on commercialization and distribution and (ii) one or more commercial partnerships with established market participants, without any specific, associated sale or merger transaction.

The Company has been contacted by several medical technology companies that are active in the surgical equipment and hemostatic products sectors, and who have expressed an interest in the Company’s products and business strategy. We continue to evaluate the potential commercial partnerships in anticipation of an FDA decision on our Class III PMA application. No assurances can be given that the Company will identify any commercialization candidate(s) or enter into a transaction.

Manufacturing and Packaging of our Products

The Company’s products will be manufactured to our specifications through a contract manufacturing arrangement with an FDA certified supplier that maintains stringent quality control protocols to assure the uniformity and quality of all of our gauze products. Information on the manufacturing process and our manufacturer’s facility has been submitted as part of our PMA submission. Our gauze products are cut to size, packaged and sterilized by service providers in the United States.

Competition

The wound care products market in the United States is concentrated among large and established companies such as Baxter International, Becton Dickinson & Company, Johnson & Johnson (Ethicon), Teleflex and 3M Company, each of which have greater capital and operational resources than we do. Our hemostatic gauze product will directly compete in the hemostat and wound care markets served by these companies. In these markets, competitive factors include product performance, price, breadth of product offerings, value-added service programs, service and delivery, credit terms, and customer support.

Government Regulation

We are subject to oversight by various federal and state governmental entities and we are subject to, and affected by, a variety of federal and state laws, regulations and policies generally applicable to the healthcare and medical device industries. See Item 1A “Risk Factors – Risks Relating to Government Regulation – ‘We are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA and must comply with the regulations of the FDA (including after the potential receipt of an FDA PMA), as well as state, local and applicable international regulations. Failure to do so could harm our business’; ‘The healthcare industry is subject to extensive government regulation, which can result in increased costs, delays, limits on its operating flexibility and competitive disadvantages’; and ‘Failure to comply with laws or government regulations could result in penalties’”.

Environmental Matters

The Company may be subject to, or affected by, environmental legislation including, among others, the Toxic Substances Control Act, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA or Superfund) and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. There may be laws and regulations that exist or that may come to pass that may also have an impact on the Company in ways that we cannot foresee. Compliance with the multitude of regulations issued by federal, state, provincial and local administrative agencies that may apply to the Company can be burdensome and costly. To date, the Company has not been impacted by these laws and regulations.

Research and Development Expenditures

In the years ending December 31, 2025 and 2024 we incurred research and development expenditures of $269,867 and $355,936, respectively.

Personnel

As of April 15, 2026, we have two Company personnel working under full-time consulting agreements and engage certain external consultants as needed on an hourly basis for regulatory and other areas of expertise.
