BioStem Life Sciences, Inc., Subsidiary of BioStem Technologies, Inc., Announces Entry into Market with Four Amniotic Products

Pompano Beach, FL, Oct. 01, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BioStem Life Sciences (“Life Sciences” or the “Company”), a wholly owned subsidiary of BioStem Technologies, Inc. (OTC PINK: BSEM), a Company focused on the development of the highest quality placental-based amniotic tissue products, whose mission is to create a new paradigm of healthcare, using breakthrough therapies that treat patients who otherwise are without effective treatment options, announced today that it has entered the market with four placental-derived tissue products for multiple indications within the ophthalmology, orthopedic and advanced wound care markets.

The four products are specifically an amniotic tissue allograft flowable matrix, a chorion-free amniotic tissue allograft membrane, an amniotic tissue allograft membrane with chorion layer, and an extracellular amniotic membrane allograft for ocular repair. Initial sales have already been established during Q3 2018. This entry into the $812 million^[1] amniotic tissue market poises the company for exponential growth in the near-term. In support of these product launches, the Company is currently introducing the new product offerings to nationwide distribution channels.

Placental tissue has proven to be a very powerful, versatile and safe allograft therapy in a wide range of pathologies treated in the regenerative medicine arena. The human amnion is a single layer of epithelial cells separating the amniotic cavity from the vascularized chorion. Amniotic Membrane has been shown to have the unique properties including the ability to suppress pain, fibrosis, and bacterial growth, as well as to promote wound healing.^[2]

BioStem Life Sciences President, Dr. Bruce Werber, stated, “…in my 35 years of practice, I have never had any tool or therapy, that comes close to the tremendous success and lack of adverse events as I have experienced with utilizing placental allograft to treat wounds and orthopedic conditions.”
