HENDERSON, Nev., Dec. 12, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- United Health Products, Inc. (UHP) (OTC:UEEC), manufacturer and marketer of HemoStyp®, a patented hemostatic gauze for the healthcare and wound care sectors, today announced it is applying to have HemoStyp designated as a Class III medical device with Australia’s Therapeutics Goods Administration (TGA, counterpart to the U.S. FDA).  Similar to the US FDA Class III application, this will allow for internal surgical use.
