NEWS RELEASE
UROPLASTY RECEIVES FDA APPROVABLE LETTER FOR
MACROPLASTIQUE
MINNEAPOLIS, MN, SEPTEMBER 13, 2006 Uroplasty, Inc. (AMEX:UPI) announced today that it has
received an approvable letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) relating to its
pre-market approval (PMA) application for Macroplastique® Implants for the treatment of female
stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
The receipt of the approvable letter follows FDAs completion of the scientific review of the
safety and efficacy of Macroplastique. The FDA determined that the PMA is approvable subject to
Uroplastys manufacturing facilities, methods and controls being audited by the FDA and in
compliance with applicable Quality System Requirements. The FDA is currently auditing Uroplastys
manufacturing facilities in Minneapolis, Minnesota and Eindhoven, The Netherlands.
David B. Kaysen, Uroplastys President and CEO, commented, Macroplastique is already a market
leader and a preferred treatment outside the U.S. for SUI resulting primarily from intrinsic
sphincter deficiency. Since its introduction in Europe, over 60,000 people have been treated with
Macroplastique and numerous clinical publications reinforce the safety and efficacy of this
product. I am pleased that our development efforts, now supported by the FDAs scientific review
of our safety and clinical data, are bringing us within clear sight of PMA approval and the ability
to market this product in the United States. Our direct sales team is excited about adding
Macroplastique to our platform of voiding dysfunction products. With this response from the FDA,
we will begin preparing for the launch of Macroplastique across the U.S.
With her extensive company history and direction of these PMA clinical studies, Susan Hartjes
Holman, Uroplastys Chief Operating Officer, is extremely pleased with FDAs decision. This moves
us into the final stages of FDA approval and toward our goal to bring this exceptional product to
the thousands of women in this country who can benefit from Macroplastiques proven safety and
performance...an effective, non-surgical treatment for a frustrating and often embarrassing
condition affecting womens lifestyle, relationships and emotional well-being. Women with stress
urinary incontinence may have endured their condition for years, many still having bladder control
problems after previous surgical treatments. The approvable letter represents the efforts of so
many of our employees worldwide. I am very proud to be associated with this product and the
dedicated, capable staff at Uroplasty.
Uroplastys patented Macroplastique is a soft tissue, injectable bulking agent for use in a
minimally-invasive, out-patient procedure to treat female SUI which primarily results from
intrinsic sphincter deficiency. SUI is the most common type of urinary incontinence and affects
approximately 13 million Americans, 85% of whom are women. SUI is described as the sudden,
accidental loss of urine during normal, everyday activities such as sneezing, coughing, laughing,
straining or lifting items. Fifteen percent of the individuals with
SUI suffer from a condition
called intrinsic sphincter deficiency a condition in which certain muscles circling the urethra weaken and can no longer properly close to
hold urine. When a physician injects Macroplastique into the tissues surrounding the urethra, the
increased bulk allows the urethra to close more effectively and prevents urine from leaking.
Mr. Kaysen continued, The anticipated FDA approval of Macroplastiques PMA marks an exciting time
in Uroplastys history. This is a significant example of Uroplastys continued growth as a
company, as well as its dedication to the treatment of urological disorders and voiding
dysfunctions.
***
Uroplasty, Inc., headquartered in Minnetonka, Minnesota, with wholly-owned subsidiaries in The
Netherlands and the United Kingdom, is a medical device company that develops, manufactures and
markets innovative, proprietary products for the treatment of voiding dysfunctions, including
urinary and fecal incontinence, overactive bladder and vesicoureteral reflux.
The Urgent® PC Neuromodulation System is a proprietary, minimally invasive nerve stimulation device
designed for office-based treatment of overactive bladder symptoms of urge incontinence, urinary
urgency and urinary frequency. Application of neuromodulation therapy targets specific nerve
tissue and disrupts the signals that lead to the symptoms of overactive bladder. Uroplasty sells
the Urgent PC system in the United States, in Canada and in countries recognizing the CE mark.
Outside the United States, the Urgent PC is also indicated for the treatment of fecal incontinence
The I-STOP Mid-Urethral Sling is a biocompatible, tension-free sling used to treat female stress
urinary incontinence. The I-STOP sling provides a hammock-like support for the urethra to prevent
urine leakage associated with activities such as coughing, laughing, lifting or jumping. Uroplasty
sells the I-STOP Sling in the United Kingdom and in the United States.
Macroplastique® Implants, Uroplastys patented soft tissue bulking agent, is used to treat both
female and male urinary incontinence and to treat vesicoureteral reflux in children. When
Macroplastique is injected into tissue, it stabilizes and bulks the tissue, providing the
surrounding muscles with increased capability to control the flow of urine. Additionally, Uroplasty
markets soft tissue bulking agents for specific indications such as PTQ Implants for the treatment
of fecal incontinence, VOX® Implants for the treatment of vocal cord rehabilitation and
Bioplastique® for augmentation or restoration of soft tissue defects in plastic surgery
indications. Uroplastys bulking products are sold outside the United States. We cannot
assure when or if the FDA will ultimately authorize our marketing of Macroplastique in the United
States, or that we can do so profitably.
