AND SCHEDULES CONFERENCE CALL

West Paterson, New Jersey, July 31, 2003 — Tutogen Medical, Inc., (AMEX: TTG) is pleased to report Company quarter and third quarter FY 2003 revenues and net income. For the three months ended June 30, 2003 revenues increased 65% to $8,933,000 from $5,400,000 for the comparable period. Results include a one-time shipment of inventory of $1.9 million under the redefined terms of the distribution agreement recently signed with Centerpulse Spine-Tech, which established Spine-Tech as a “stocking distributor”. Revenue from continuing operations increased 30%. Revenues from Centerpulse Spine-Tech and Centerpulse Dental increased approximately $1.0 million and independent distributor sales increased approximately $600,000 from the comparable period FY 2002. Revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 2003 increased 41% to $22,250,000 from $15,744,000 for the comparable period. The increase in revenue primarily occurred from the U.S. operation as its revenue increased 47% to 15,508,000 from $10,559,000 for the same period last year.

Operating income is up over four times from the comparable period, from $337,000 in FY 2002 to $1,430,000 for this quarter. Operating income for the nine months ended June 30, 2003 is up over two times from $ 785,000 in FY 2002 to $1,929,000 in FY 2003. Net income for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2003 totaled $818,000 or $0.05 basic and diluted earnings per share and $1,084,000 or $0.07 basic and diluted earnings per share, respectively, as compared to a net income of $212,000 or $0.01 basic and diluted earnings per share and net income of $567,000 or $0.04 basic and diluted earnings per share for the same periods last year.

Manfred Krueger, President and CEO of Tutogen, commented, “this is the best quarter in Company history. The third quarter results are particularly gratifying in light of the Euro’s continuing strength against the Dollar as we produce our precision machine-tooled bone graft products from our international operations. The steady growth in overall sales confirms earlier estimates of Tutogen’s potential for growth during FY 2003. Despite the uncertainties created by the efforts of Zimmer Holdings and Smith & Nephew to acquire Centerpulse, the demand for Tutogen’s superior products continues to support Centerpulse’s Spine-Tech and Dental subsidiaries sales growth”.

Manfred Krueger and George Lombardi will conduct a conference call Monday, August 4th at 10 AM EST. The participant dial-in number is: 877-407-9205 or 201-689-8054 (international). A replay will be available until August 8th at 877-660-6853 or 201-612-7415 (international). Replay access requires a/c #1628, conference ID # 72373.
