MONMOUTH JUNCTION, NJ, Feb 03, 2009 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- MSBT | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- MedaSorb Technologies Corporation (OTCBB: MSBT | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, CytoSorbents, Inc., announced that it was approved to participate in the New Jersey Emerging Technology and Biotechnology Financial Assistance Program and sold its net operating loss, netting approximately $248,000 to the Company. This is in addition to the $840,000 raised in the second close of the Series B financing in August 2008, bringing the total amount of capital raised by the Company to $5.5 million over the past 7 months.

"This further bolsters our balance sheet to facilitate the completion of our European Sepsis Trial -- evaluating the treatment of patients with severe sepsis and respiratory failure with our CytoSorb(TM) resin cartridge," commented Dr. Phillip Chan, CEO. "Severe sepsis, often called 'overwhelming infection,' is so prevalent that most people unfortunately know someone who has died from this terrible disease. CytoSorbents hopes to significantly impact the outcome of sepsis with its unique treatment approach."

About MedaSorb, CytoSorbents and CytoSorb(TM)

MedaSorb Technologies Corporation, with its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, CytoSorbents, Inc., is a medical device company focused on the treatment of sepsis with its proprietary CytoSorb(TM) resin. Severe sepsis afflicts an estimated 18 million people worldwide each year, killing one in every three patients, despite the best medical treatment. CytoSorb(TM) is designed to treat sepsis by broadly reducing cytokines and toxins from blood that can cause organ failure and potentially death. After a patient's blood is pumped through a CytoSorb(TM) cartridge, cytokines and toxins are adsorbed and removed by the resin. Treated blood is then returned to the patient. The Company is currently evaluating CytoSorb(TM) in its 60-80 patient, randomized, controlled, open-label European Sepsis Trial. MedaSorb has also developed a number of different resins using its platform technology. These were designed for a variety of potential healthcare applications. Some examples include improved hemodialysis, cytokine removal in inflammatory disorders, and drug removal or detoxification.
