Press Release Summary = Animal Replacement Technologies announced today the launch
of a new line of synthetic vascular lesion products for medical device developers
and surgical educators.

Press Release Body = Animal Replacement Technologies announced today the launch of a
new line of synthetic vascular lesion models for medical device designers and
surgical educators; chronic total occlusion models. Such models are invaluable to
the development of products that treat blockages in the peripheral vascular system
since there are currently no other repeatable and reliable models available to
engineers and scientists that mimic such pathologies.

Using these models, which are employed in concert with Animal Replacement
Technologies\' existing venous and arterial models, will allow developers,
researchers, and educators to perform highly compelling benchmarking studies that
highlight the performance variations between competitive devices. The company is
also developing softcap and hardcap lesions for coronary applications.

Animal Replacement Technologies develops sophisticated synthetic body parts for the
medical device, consumer product, and pharmaceutical industries. These models employ
replacable muscles, tendons, veins, arteries, and organs, all made from patented
materials that mimic the structural, chemical, and mechanical properties of living
tissue. Such products are used by medical device manufacturers in design validation
testing, by physicians in surgical training, and by armaments manufacturers in
ballistics testing.
