BEVERLY, Mass.--(Business Wire)--
INVO Bioscience, Inc. (OTC BB: IVOB), a medical device company focused on
treatment options for patients diagnosed with infertility, announced that the
$500,000 private placement / or equity securities financing that was outlined in
the 8K filing dated July of 2009 has been fully subscribed. "This financing will
allow INVO to bridge to long term financing in which terms are currently being
negotiated as well as allow us to continue to with product launch," said INVO
Bioscience`s CEO, Kathleen Karloff. 

About the INVO Procedure

The INVOcell and INVO Procedure combine a natural or mild (mild medication)
stimulation infertility treatment cycle, using lower amounts of fertility
hormones than used in traditional IVF (in vitro fertilization), with
intra-vaginal incubation (IVC) of sperm and eggs. Following standard egg
retrieval, the woman`s eggs (oocytes) are combined with sperm in the INVOcell, a
small device, which is then sealed and placed in the woman`s vaginal cavity to
incubate for three days. When the INVOcell is removed, the anticipated one to
two developing embryos are transferred directly into the woman's uterine cavity,
where implantation and continued pregnancy can take place. 

The company has received European CE Mark approval for the INVOcell and, in
2008, launched the product in select countries outside the U.S. The company is
also pursuing U.S. Food and Drug Administration 510(k) clearance for the
INVOcell.
