AMNIOX® Medical’s NEOX® and CLARIX® Product Lines Receive American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) Seal of Approval

ATLANTA – July 24, 2014 – Amniox Medical, Inc., a developer and marketer of restorative therapies processed from amniotic membrane and umbilical cord, announces that it was granted the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) Seal of Approval for its NEOX Wound Matrix and CLARIX Regenerative Matrix product lines.

As part of its mission, APMA strives to provide reliable information about the quality and effectiveness of available products and therapies to clinicians and patients. The APMA Seal of Approval is granted to products found to promote good foot health.

“The APMA Seal of Approval is awarded after a rigorous scientific review by a group of APMA member podiatrists. The committee examines information about the product’s safety, quality control, and other data,” said APMA Executive Director and CEO Glenn B. Gastwirth, DPM. “Amniox Medical’s NEOX and CLARIX have received the APMA Seal of Approval in recognition of their value and benefit as part of a wound care regimen overseen by a podiatric physician.”

Amniox Medical is the only provider of a human tissue matrix composed of both amniotic membrane and umbilical cord. These placental tissues have innate regenerative properties that can be preserved and transplanted to other environments. The Company’s amniotic membrane/umbilical cord matrix comprises key proteins, cytokines and growth factors that have been shown to modulate inflammation and promote regeneration of normal tissue. Amniox utilizes its proprietary CryoTek™ process, a cryopreservation technology, to preserve the natural biological and structural integrity of these tissues.

“We are very proud to have our entire product offering recognized by APMA,” said Aaron Smith, General Manager of Amniox Medical. “We know that APMA performs a rigorous review of any product under consideration for its Seal of Approval and are honored by their recognition of the safety, quality and extensive scientific evidence supporting our products.”
