CSMG Technologies Receives Approval of Third U.S. Patent for Live Biological Tissue B

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas, March 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CSMG
Technologies, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CTUM) announced today that it has
received notice from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office that its U.S.
Application No. 10/310,203 has been allowed for "Bonding of Soft Biological
Tissues by Passing High Frequency Electric Current Therethrough" (Method
Divisional of U.S. patent number 09/022,869) for the company's live-
biological-tissue bonding/welding platform technology.
Don Robbins, CEO of CSMG Technologies, said, "The divisional patent
approval continues to reinforce our intellectual property position for the LTC
platform tissue bonding/welding technology as we begin regulatory processes to
bring the technology to commercial world markets."
The tissue bonding device bonds through radiofrequency fusion and
reconnects living soft biological tissue (organs) without the use of foreign
matters or conventional wound-closing devices such as sutures, staples,
sealants or glues. The technology leaves little or no scar visible to the
naked eye after a few months. Unlike other tissue coagulation methods, CSMG's
patented technology bonds and reconnects incised tissue and avoids charring,
searing and necrosis using a patented low-heat delivery method while providing
a leak-proof, smokeless and bloodless reconnection.
Five Ukraine hospitals are using the technology daily for open and
laparoscopic surgical procedures and techniques. The procedures so far have
involved the bonding and reconnecting of incised or separated human tissue in
various body areas -- nasal septum, intestine, stomach, skin, gall bladder,
liver, spleen, lung, blood vessels, nerves, alba linea, uterus, gynecological,
fallopian tube, ovary and testicles -- while restoring the normal function of
the organ or tissue.
United States and Australia patents have been issued, and other U.S. and
foreign patents are pending. CSMG maintains a team of academicians,
professors, researchers, surgeons, engineers, technicians and clinical test
facilities in Ukraine and has offices in Corpus Christi, Texas; Oklahoma City,
Okla.; Washington, D.C.; Atlanta, Ga.; and Kiev, Ukraine.

CSMG owns the technology and exclusive world rights to a medical device
through Live Tissue Connect, Inc., a subsidiary corporation formed for the
development and exploitation of the platform technology. The technology, owned
by CSMG, was invented and developed at the E.O. Paton Institute of Electric
Welding, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine at Kiev, Ukraine headed by
Professor B.E. Paton.

  • Arranged and received a $2.75 million bridge loan from investment banking firm Empire Financial Group (AMEX: EFH - News)
  • Hired Frank D'Amelio, one of the leading U.S. medical device executives, as consultant to complete U.S. FDA, European CE Mark filings, and take LTC products to market
  • Retained one of the U.S. leading FDA compliance law firms to work on FDA and CE Mark regulatory filing
  • Currently completing agreements with U.S. medical device manufacturers to manufacture LTC devices for worldwide distribution

Donald S. Robbins, president and CEO of CSMG, said "We at CTUM wish to thank the CTUM shareholders for their continued support of our company. We believe 2007 holds great promise for bringing our LTC products to market. We are enthusiastic over the prospects, and in particular, the opportunities that are quickly developing with the Tissue Welding Technology. Under Frank D'Amelio's leadership we have quickly poised LTC for commercialization."
Mr. D'Amelio added, "We have made significant progress in just the last 60 days. In this period of time, we developed a 'go-to-production' plan for the U.S. and European markets. We have received quotes from multiple companies who want to manufacture our unique tissue-welding generator and our first series of open tissue-fusing forceps. Our clinical procedures in the Ukraine have demonstrated the versatility of the technology and we have implemented active R&D projects in support of a robust new product pipeline. During the first quarter of 2007 we will start the manufacturing process, U.S. laboratory studies and ready our initial FDA 510k for submission."
About CSMG Technologies' Tissue Welding/Bonding Technology
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. and Australia patents have been issued, a patent in the European Union has been approved, and additional U.S. and foreign patents are pending.
