VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 9, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- The following was issued today by Robert Kramer, Director, Current Technology Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: CRTCF):

Current Technology Corporation (the "Company") has shipped an ElectroTrichoGenesis ("ETG") device to Tribis Inc. ("Tribis") of Seoul, Korea. A manufacturer and distributor of cosmetic and medical devices, Tribis conducted extensive market research and determined that in order to achieve meaningful market penetration, full medical approval will be required. Therefore, for the past several months, in concert with the Company, Tribis has been working with the Korean Food and Drug Administration ("KFDA") to obtain the required approval. Tribis believes the final step in the KFDA approval process should be the successful conclusion of an open study (open study, as opposed to the more complex double blind clinical trial). The Company has designed the required protocol, and the study will be conducted by Tribis at its expense, using the ETG provided by Current Technology. Tribis hopes to obtain full KFDA approval early next year.

"Mr. Chou, CEO of Tribis, purchased his first unit from our former Korean distributor, and evaluated its performance in a cosmetic setting," states Company COO Anthony Harrison. "He is a skilled marketer, and we believe Tribis will obtain significant market penetration once KFDA approval is in hand."

"We believe Tribis has established medical contacts which should lead to rapid growth," states Company CEO Robert Kramer. "We look forward to working with Mr. Chou and his team."

Current Technology Corporation remains committed to developing its non-invasive pulsed electro-stimulation technology. This technology has enabled the Company to develop two separate and distinct products emanating from the TrichoGenesis platform, thus far, that offer help for those concerned with their hair: ElectroTrichoGenesis (ETG) and CosmeticTrichoGenesis (CTG). Current Technology holds patents throughout the world and has spent over US $15 million in research and development of its TrichoGenesis platform and systems. The patents encompass the technology, methodology and design of the Company's products. In addition, the Company is seeking additional opportunities to enhance shareholder value.
