Item 8.01    Other Events.

On September 20, 2010, the United States District Court, Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta Division, issued an order denying CryoLife's request for a preliminary injunction against Medafor, Inc. Although the order denies the preliminary injunction, it does not address the merits of the parties’ respective positions on the underlying issues, which the court views as more appropriately addressed after discovery and at summary judgment.  As of the date of this filing, CryoLife has not received any communication from Medafor regarding this order. A copy of the order is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
