Urodynamix Technologies Ltd. (TSX-V:URO) announced that it has entered into an agreement with Pfizer Inc. to collaborate on a series of promotional programs to increase awareness of UroNIRS(TM) Bladder Monitor technology among urologists and medical professionals.

The program will be delivered to medical professionals in cities across the United States commencing in November 2008 and will feature Urodynamix's UroNIRS technology - a new, non-invasive medical device that uses near infrared spectroscopy for diagnosis of LUTS, a major health concern related to BPH and prostate disease. Experts will discuss the current and future applications of UroNIRS technology for the diagnosis of urologic conditions including LUTS, BPH and erectile dysfunction (ED).

This program will be coordinated through Pfizer's Urology sales force.

"This exciting program allows us to collaborate with Pfizer and our leading distribution partners to deliver the message about the features and benefits of UroNIRS and future applications of our technology," said Barry Allen, President and CEO of Urodynamix.
