Genzyme Surgical Products Receives FDA Clearance
for Sepramesh(TM)

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Genzyme Surgical Products (Nasdaq:
GZSP - news) today announced that it has received 510(k) clearance from the FDA to market Sepramesh(TM) Biosurgical
Composite for use in hernia repair procedures.

Sepramesh is a prosthetic surgical mesh designed to be sutured in place along the abdominal wall to support and strengthen
hernia repairs. Sepramesh offers significant advantages over traditional mesh products because it contains a bioresorbable
barrier that separates the mesh from underlying tissue and organ surfaces to minimize tissue attachment to the mesh. Traditional
mesh products often become a focal point for adhesions -- fibrous bands of scar tissue that form following surgery, potentially
compromising hernia repairs and complicating future procedures. (snip)
