Urologix Receives CE Mark for CoolMax(TM) Microwave Catheter

MINNEAPOLIS--(HSMN NewsFeed)--Urologix®, Inc. (NASDAQ:ULGX ), today announced that the CoolMax(TM) Microwave Catheter is CE Marked. This new catheter is expected to allow doctors to more comfortably treat men who suffer from the symptoms of BPH, a condition that affects 23 million men.

The CoolMax microwave catheter builds upon Urologix' current product portfolio and leverages its existing technology platform. This catheter is specially designed with Urologix' patented gamma matched dipole antenna design and features the addition of an enlarged cooling balloon. This next generation catheter is part of an ongoing program intended to blend patient comfort with durability. Next, Urologix plans to enter into discussions with the FDA to seek US approval for the device.

"I am pleased with the progress in the development of this catheter and look forward to the future introduction of this product to the US market," commented Fred B. Parks, Urologix Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "This release signifies our belief that the CoolMax catheter will meet our expectations of improved comfort over our current offering while maintaining the high level of durable outcomes our customers have come to expect from using our products."

In addition to the CoolMax, Urologix offers the Targis® and Cooled ThermoCath® family of catheters along with the Targis® and CoolWave(TM) Control Units. The CoolMax microwave catheter is currently not for sale in the United States.
