United Health Products Receives Notice of Allowance for Patent Application for HemoStypeTM Gauze Product – Anticipates First Orders from Dental and Medical Markets

Westbury, NY - September 16, 2013 - United Health Products, Inc. (OTCQB: UEEC) announced that it has received formal notification of allowance of its patent application from the U.S. Patent Office for its hemostatic gauze product, HemoStyp™, and that the patent will issue shortly. The Company is also pursuing additional applications and filings for its HemoStyp product line.

HemoStyp is an all-natural product comprised of regenerated oxidized cellulose gauze which is specifically formulated to aid in the process of hemostasis (clotting) when positioned on a cut or wound. Unlike the other products in the wound care market, HemoStyp contains no potentially harmful chemicals or animal byproducts and is hypoallergenic. Once it has completed its task, it is easily removed by dissolving it in water or saline solution. This method of removal neither disturbs the clotted surface nor encourages re-bleeding.

Dr. Phillip Forman, CEO of United Health Products, stated that, "Now that the Company has obtained full patent rights for HemoStyp, we look forward to entering the next phase of sales and marketing with our patented product."

The Company expects its first orders from the dental and medical markets as it is now pursuing multiple markets for HemoStyp including the medical, sports, dental, military, and veterinary sectors, each of which represents a multimillion dollar market.
