Products Compete in $120 Million Market RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif., April 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ThermoGenesis Corp. today announced that the Company signed exclusive agreements with distributors in the United Kingdom and Hungary for its CE-Marked CryoSeal FS System, which produces fibrin surgical sealant from a patient's own blood in about an hour, and the TPD which produces activated thrombin in less than 30 minutes. These new distribution agreements allow ThermoGenesis to advance its strategy of penetrating the European fibrin sealant market and the platelet gel market. Both markets have been limited due to the past reliance on the high cost of conventional fibrin sealants and Factor V antibody risks associated with the use of bovine thrombin for platelet gels. BVM Medical Limited, a U.K.-based device distributor focusing on interventional congenital cardiology, interventional radiology, cardiothoracic and vascular surgery, will distribute the CryoSeal FS System and TPD in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, while Neurotrade Bt, a unit of Switzerland-based Medivent Medizintechnik, will distribute these products throughout Hungary. Neurotrade markets products for the surgical, dental and plastic surgery markets. According to Rudy Huylebroeck, Director of Global Sales and Marketing Hospital/Wound Care Division, "Signing distribution agreements with BVM and Neurotrade will allow ThermoGenesis to further expand its CryoSeal and TPD business in Europe. With excellent relationships with surgeons and hospitals, these distributors are already promoting our products successfully and receiving favorable reactions from potential customers who have discovered CryoSeal Fibrin Sealant is a cost-effective alternative to conventional fibrin sealants, sourced from pooled human blood and bovine lung tissue." Kevin Simpson, President commented, "CryoSeal is now marketed in 11 European countries and we anticipate playing a significant role in expanding the $120 million fibrin sealant market as more distribution agreements are signed in other European countries. These conventional sealants can pose a risk of viral transmission, allergic reaction or immune mediated coagulopathy associated with their clinical use." Physicians both in Japan and Europe have reported finding the CryoSeal FS System well suited for large bleeding surgical applications such as cardiac, ear nose & throat (ENT), orthopedic, neurological, and gastrointestinal surgeries due to the large volume of fibrin sealant the system is able to harvest from a single unit of patient blood plasma. In the United States ThermoGenesis completed a 150-patient pivotal clinical trial in non-trauma, non-transplant liver surgeries. About ThermoGenesis Corp.
