Clearant Achieves Key Milestone in Direct Distribution of Tissue Implants to Surgeons, Hospitals and Clinics

Company Completes First Stage of Sales Force Hiring in Time for Launch of Cervical Bone Implants

LOS ANGELES--(HSMN NewsFeed)--June 9, 2006--Clearant, Inc. (OTCBB:CLRI ) today announced it has achieved the first important milestone in its direct distribution strategy with the hiring of four territory representatives. This team will focus on distributing cervical spinal allograft implants treated with the CLEARANT PROCESS to surgeons and hospitals in selected markets in the U.S.

"Last month, the Company outlined its plans to transition from a pure licensing provider to the tissue and biological industry to a direct distributor of Clearant Sterile Implants to surgeons, clinics and hospitals via a direct sales force," said Alain Delongchamp, Clearant's chief executive officer. "I am very pleased with the quality and background of the team we have brought together. Each one of these territory representatives has a successful track record in serving the spinal and orthopedic surgical community in their respective geographic market, and each has specific experience in representing implant providers, as their backgrounds include sales and sales management positions with firms such as Biomet, Zimmer and DePuy."

"Due to a relatively small number of surgeons performing a high percentage of bone implant procedures, we believe that these representatives can be highly effective in rapidly penetrating the market," said Mr. Delongchamp. "While the sales cycle to tissue banks through distributors represented a lengthy process, we feel that our ability to market directly to leading surgeons and medical institutions will dramatically reduce the sales cycle."

Currently, the top fifteen markets in the U.S. represent in excess of $200 million in bone implant sales. The top 30-50 surgeons in these markets perform approximately 80% of the procedures, allowing the Company to employ a highly targeted marketing effort.

According to Delongchamp, the Company plans to hire 3 to 7 additional territory representatives before the end of 2006.
