StemSource®
Cell Bank commercialization partnership to include Korea, Taiwan and
Thailand. As with the commercialization agreement for Japan, revenues from all
related product sales will be shared equally between Cytori and Green Hospital

“Commercialization
activities in Japan have resulted in a significant number of prospective
customers not only in Japan, but throughout Asia,” said Seijiro Shirahama,
president of Cytori Asia Pacific. “With Green Hospital Supply’s experience and
knowledge of the region, we are able to take advantage of the existing product
infrastructure to expand the revenue potential for the StemSource® Cell
Bank.”
The
StemSource® Cell
Bank is being commercialized to hospitals in Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Thailand
by Green Hospital Supply, Inc, in partnership with Cytori. The foundation of the
StemSource® Cell
Bank is Cytori's proprietary Celution® 900

regenerative cells residing within adipose tissue so they may be prepared for
cryopreservation.
About

(NASDAQ: CYTX) goal is to be the global leader in regenerative medicine. The
company is dedicated to providing patients with new options for reconstructive
surgery, developing treatments for cardiovascular disease, and banking patients'
adult stem and regenerative cells. The Celution® 800
System is being introduced in Europe into the reconstructive surgery market
while the Celution® 900
System will be launched in Japan for cryopreserving a patient's own stem and
regenerative cells. Clinical trials are ongoing in cardiovascular disease and
planned for spinal disc degeneration, gastrointestinal disorders, and other
unmet medical needs. www.cytoritx.com
