InteguSeal Launch in the US

Advanced Medical Solutions Grp PLC 07 February 2007 For Immediate Release 7 February 2007 Advanced Medical Solutions Group plc ('AMS' or 'the Company') Kimberly-Clark launches InteguSeal* Microbial Sealant in the US Winsford, UK: Advanced Medical Solutions Group plc (AIM: AMS), the global healthcare technology company, today announces that a novel application of its medical adhesives technology to help reduce the risk of skin flora contamination throughout a surgical procedure, a key factor in the development of surgical site infections, has been launched in the US. The product was unveiled during the annual meeting of the Society of Thoracic Surgery in San Diego, California. Surgical site infections occur in 2-5% of all surgical procedures and they can lead to serious complications and increased morbidity to the patient and significant incremental costs to health care providers. In March 2006 AMS announced that it had entered into an exclusive agreement with Kimberly-Clark Health Care for the marketing and distribution of InteguSeal* Microbial Sealant in all global markets. The product consists of a film-forming solution that bonds to the skin sealing off the spaces where bacteria can grow and immobilises pathogens to help prevent against migration into a surgical incision. Easy to apply and fast-drying, InteguSeal* Microbial Sealant can be used with a variety of patient skin preparation treatments and surgical products such as electrocautery, sutures, staples and wound adhesives. The versatile film bonds to skin surfaces with different curvature, hair-content or amount or types of flora present. The product was launched in Europe and other geographies during 2006 and now has been used in more than 15,000 applications during surgical procedures internationally. Clearance for sale in the US was granted by the FDA and announced in October 2006 and following today's announcement, the product has now been introduced in the world's largest market for surgical procedures. Atlanta-based Kimberly-Clark Health Care is a business unit with revenues of more than $1 billion, within the global Kimberly-Clark Corporation. It manufactures and markets a wide range of surgical products and is a leader in several medical device categories. Commenting on today's announcement, Dr. Don Evans, Chief Executive of AMS, stated: 'I am delighted that InteguSeal* Microbial Sealant has been launched in the US. With its strong presence and focus on the operating room, Kimberly-Clark Health Care is an ideal marketing and distribution partner for global commercialisation of this technology.' -ENDS- For further information, please contact: Advanced Medical Solutions Group plc Tel : +44 (0) 1606 545508 Don Evans, Chief Executive Mary Tavener, Finance Director www.admedsol.com Buchanan Communications Tel: +44 (0) 20 7466 5000 Mark Court, Mary-Jane Johnson Notes to Editors: Advanced Medical Solutions is a leading company in the development and manufacture of products for the $13 billion global woundcare market.
