BioTime, Inc. (NYSE AMEX: BTIM), based in Alameda, California, is
engaged in the research and development of aqueous-based synthetic
solutions that may be used as plasma expanders, organ preservation
solutions, or solutions to replace blood volume during low
temperature surgery. These products are intended for several
important medical applications including:
- the treatment of hypovolemia caused by surgical blood loss
- the emergency treatment of blood loss due to traumatic
injury
- the replacement of all of a patient's circulating blood
during cardiac surgery and neurosurgery that involve lowering
the patient's body temperature to hypothermic levels
- the preservation of body organs and tissues awaiting
transplant
- other biomedical applications
Because the Company's solutions are synthetic, they can be
sterilized under high temperatures and pressures, and will not pose
a risk of transmitting infectious agents.
