Revolutions Medical Files Provisional Patent Application on New Pre-Filled Auto Retractable Vacuum Safety Syringe Technology

CHARLESTON, S.C., May 3, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Revolutions Medical Corporation ("Revolutions Medical" or the "Company") (OTCQB:RMCP) announces today that the Company has filed a provisional patent application in order to expand its current proprietary vacuum technology to now include pre-filled safety syringes. The new patent application will strengthen the Company's overall patent coverage related to vacuum safety syringe technology and will allow the Company to address a growing market segment currently experiencing significant attention by pharmaceutical companies. Foley and Lardner, LLP, Revolutions Medical's patent attorneys, expect this new provisional patent application to result in a family of patent filings on this new vacuum technology. One of the many new design features includes the needle being safely retracted within the syringe body during manufacturing, eliminating the need for a needle safety cap.

"The Company continues to stay true to its mission and looks forward to being able to share its new pre-filled safety syringe designs with potential pharmaceutical strategic partners.
