ALPHARETTA, Ga., May 20, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SANUWAVE Health, Inc. (OTCBB:SNWV) today received a patent issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office entitled “Use of Pressure Waves for Stimulation, Proliferation, Differentiation and Post-Implantation Viability of Stem Cells.” The claims of the patent (patent number 8,728,809) relate to the use of shock waves for stimulation of proliferation inside the body of donor stem cells. The proliferated donor stem cells are then harvested for further laboratory proliferation to create either autologous or allogeneic transplant cells. In another step, shock waves are used to pre-treat the targeted location for tissue regeneration, to stimulate blood vessel formation and thus increase survival rate for transplanted stem cells. Furthermore, the methods of this patent include the application of shock waves after stem cell transplantation in the recipient area to accelerate and enhance tissue reconstruction. The patent life extends to August 2031.
