ARTH Arch Therapeutics Inc (QB)

Discusses AC5(TM) at the Brainstorming Neuromodulation Workshop and 4th Annual Meeting of American Society of Nanomedicine

WELLESLEY, MA--(Marketwired - Mar 26, 2014) - Rutledge Ellis-Behnke, PhD, co-founder and inventing scientist at Arch Therapeutics, Inc. (OTCQB: ARTH) ("Arch" or "the Company"), a life sciences company and developer of the AC5 Surgical Hemostatic Device™, a novel product aimed at controlling bleeding and fluid loss in order to provide faster and safer surgical and interventional care, presents his work using AC5™ at two scientific meetings.

At the upcoming 4th Annual Meeting of the American Society for Nanomedicine in Rockville, Maryland on March 28-30, Dr. Ellis-Behnke will present his hemostasis and tissue stabilization work using self-assembling compositions, including AC5 and other compositions that have been licensed to Arch. Dr. Ellis-Behnke will present on Saturday, March 30 at 9:25 AM EST in a talk titled "New Molecular Medical Devices: A Framework, Objective Measures and Treatments That Can Help Restore the Body to a Pre-injury State."

Dr. Ellis-Behnke noted, "The use of AC5 to control bleeding during surgery also stabilizes the tissue, which increases the stability of any implantable device. By quickly stopping bleeding, there is little or no edema and the leads will stay where they are placed. Revisions can be greatly reduced. Additionally, through the stabilization of tissue and hemostatic activity, the severity of the damage from trauma and disease can be significantly mitigated, thus reducing recovery time and the risk of developing secondary damage or infection."

He continued, "Arch Therapeutics' work is of vital importance in this field as it is instrumental in understanding how to translate these discoveries into commercially viable processes and products designed to fulfill areas of extraordinary medical need."

Also, at the recent "Brainstorming Neuromodulation" workshop in Carmel, California held on March 14-16, Dr. Ellis-Behnke showed how AC5 stops bleeding during brain surgery. This biannual, invitation-only workshop was organized by Bay Area neurologist Russell Andrews, MD, Medical Advisor for Neurosurgery at NASA Ames Research Center and President of the International Conference on Neuroprotective Agents.

Terrence W. Norchi, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Arch Therapeutics, said, "We continue to be grateful to Dr. Ellis-Behnke for his work on behalf of the Company, both in terms of his scientific contributions to the development of AC5 and his ongoing outreach to the scientific community to convey AC5's unique benefits."
