Therus Corp.

Therus Corporation is developing the Therus® Acoustic Hemostasis System, a medical device designed for rapid, durable, noninvasive sealing of femoral artery access punctures following catheterization-laboratory procedures such as angiography and angioplasty.
While the Company is pursuing femoral artery sealing, there are numerous other potential clinical applications for therapeutic ultrasound. These applications are being evaluated by AcousTx Corporation, a spinoff company of Therus. The product launch is planned for 2008.

Tissue Welding

Thu, 22 May 2008
CSMG Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: CTGI), a technology management company, announced that its Live Tissue Connect ("LTC") subsidiary has completed the onsite audit portion of the CE Mark registration in accordance with the European Medical Device Directive – 93/42/EEC. LTC announced it has already received their ISO 13485:2003 certification for the design and manufacture of Bipolar Forceps Systems. This Quality Management System certificate was issued by BSI Management Systems, one of the world's leading certification bodies.

Live Tissue Bonding Technology
Tissue Welding
The 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. The technology leaves little or no scar tissue visible to the naked eye after a few months. Unlike other tissue coagulation methods that tend to destroy tissue by charring, searing and necrosis, the tissue welding patented platform technology bonds and reconnects incised tissue and avoids charring, searing and necrosis, using a low heat delivery method aimed at restoration of the normal functions of the live organs and tissue. The smokeless capability of the tissue welding technology has a significant benefit to the medical professional health services provider because current technologies for R F frequency welding or bonding have significant smoke that the carcinogens have been found carry infectious microorganisms from high risk HIV and Hepatitis patients during surgery.

Robert D. Tucker PhD, MD. Dr. Tucker is with the University of Iowa, Department of Pathology and the Department of Biomedical Engineering. He will be presenting his teams' comparative results with the LTC bipolar sealing system at the 17th annual Congress of the International Society for Gynecologic Endoscopy, the World Congress of Gynecologic Endoscopy and SEGI Annual meeting which will be held in Bari, Italy from June 4th to 7th 2008
