CSMG
Technologies Announces Live Tissue Connect Subsidiary
Successfully Uses Tissue Bonding in Pediatric Procedures
Corpus Christi, TX, February 5, 2007 -- CSMG Technologies,
Inc., (OTC Bulletin Board: CTUM
- News)
a technology management company focused on commercializing
human live tissue bonding devices, announced 170 human
pediatric surgeries have been performed on patients,
from ages six months to 17 years, using the company's
platform live biological tissue welding/bonding technology.
The surgeries were performed at the Zhytomir Children's
Hospital, Zhytomir, Ukraine.
Dr. Vitaliy Zaremba, researcher and surgeon at the
Zhytomir Children's Hospital said, "The technology
is being used in various types of pediatric surgeries,
including circumcision, tissue separation, tissue reconnection,
gynecology, thoracic surgery, tumor removal, ovarian
and urological procedures. The main advantages over
conventional surgery procedures are absence of bleeding,
safety of the surgery, less procedure time and faster
patient recovery."
Donald S. Robbins, president and CEO of CSMG, said,
"It is rewarding to note the consistent remarks
by surgeons of the advantages our tissue welding technology
produces, especially when considering the wide range
of procedures we are able to perform, versus conventional
wound closing methods. Particularly impressive is the
ability to successfully apply the technology to small
pediatric organs and tedious procedures. We are continually
expanding our procedure capabilities, thus increasing
our licensing and marketing opportunities."
CSMG owns the technology and exclusive world rights
to the medical device through Live Tissue Connect, Inc.
(LTC), a subsidiary corporation formed for the development
and exploitation of the platform technology.
LTC expects to complete a U.S. and European regulatory
device for duct and vessel sealing meeting FDA and European
CE Mark standards, respectively, and file for approval
of the device with the two regulatory entities early
next year.
About CSMG Technologies' Tissue Welding/Bonding
Technology
The LTC tissue bonding / welding device is a platform
technology that bonds and reconnects living soft biological
tissue through fusion without the use of foreign matters,
or conventional wound closing devices, such as sutures,
staples, sealant, or glues. Surgeons at 27 Ukraine hospitals
and clinics are using the tissue welding/bonding technology
in clinical trials. They have completed more than 7,000
human surgeries using more than 80 types of open and
laparoscopic surgical procedures, demonstrating the
technology is universal in its ability to repair soft
biological tissue. These surgeries included lung, neuro-surgery,
nasal septum, intestine, stomach, skin, gall bladder,
liver, spleen, blood vessels, nerves, alba linea, uterus,
bladder, gynecological, fallopian tube, ovary and testicles
and dura-matter.
Cosmetic surgeries conducted with this technology include
breast reduction, breast implants, mastopexy and abdominal
plasty. The procedure involves little or no scarring,
while restoring the normal function of the body organ
or tissue.
The technology was invented and developed at the internationally
renowned E.O. Paton Institute of Electric Welding, National
Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kiev, Ukraine, headed
by Professor B.E. Paton. U.S., Australian, Canadian
and European Union patents have been issued, and additional
U.S. and foreign patents are pending, all owned by LTC.
