(OTCPK: UEEC), (“UHP” or the “Company”), developer, manufacturer and marketer of HemoStyp®, a patented Neutralized Oxidized Regenerated Cellulose hemostatic agent, received notification this week from the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) that, following the resubmission of its application for Pre-market Approval for HemoStyp gauze on April 6^th, the FDA has now accepted for review and commenced its Substantive Review of the application.

Brian Thom, Chief Executive Officer, commented: “We are extremely pleased to have reached this important milestone in the Company’s effort to access the U.S. Class III human surgical market. Further, we are highly confident that our HemoStyp technology can make an important contribution to improving patient outcomes in surgical procedures in U.S. and international care facilities.
