Heritage Worldwide Obtains Approval to Market Gel-filled Breast
Implants in Australia

LA-SEYNE-SUR-MER, France, Oct. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Heritage
Worldwide, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board:   HWWI), a large worldwide
provider of   breast implants, today announced that one if its
subsidiaries, Poly Implant   Protheses, SA ("PIP"), has obtained
approval from the Australian Therapeutic  Goods Administration ("TGA")
to market gel-filled breast implants in
Australia.

"We are expanding the number of countries in which we market our
products. The entry into the Australian market is significant progress
for us," commented Jean-Claude Mas, chief executive officer of
Heritage Worldwide. "Australia, with more than 20,000,000 people and a
GDP higher than France, provides a healthy platform for our products
and a springboard to enter into other Asia-Pacific countries.  We
estimate that approximately 6,000 women in Australia have breast
implant surgery each year.  We have worked hard with Medical Vision
Australia Pty. Ltd, our distributor in Australia, to secure the
approval of the TGA."

"We believe that PIP's products, with its asymmetric shapes, aligns
the lateral aspects of the augmented breast in symmetry with the
body's natural curvature and the shape of the chest with the same high
quality standards PIP has developed over the years," said Stan Racic,
director of Medical Vision Australia Pty. Ltd.
