Medical Announces Successful Animal Study Utilizing Its LIBERTYTM Robotic System
First Fully Disposable Surgical Robot Achieved all Endpoints with No Intraoperative Adverse Events
Performed Procedures have the Potential to Reduce Radiation Exposure, Physical Strain and Cross Contamination to Both the Patients
and the Surgical Staff
Mass., August 17, 2020 - Microbot Medical Inc. (Nasdaq: MBOT), today announced the successful conclusion of its feasibility
animal study using the Company's LIBERTYTM Robotic System, the world's first fully disposable surgical
robotic system. The study met all of its end points with no intraoperative adverse events, which supports the Company's
objectives to allow physicians to conduct a catheter-based procedure from outside the catheterization laboratory (cath-lab), avoiding
radiation exposure, physical strain and the risk of cross contamination. It was performed by two leading physicians in the neuro
vascular and peripheral vascular intervention spaces, and the results demonstrated robust navigation capabilities, intuitive usability
and accurate deployment of embolic agents, most of which was conducted remotely from the cath-lab's control room.
continue to validate the LIBERTYTM Robotic System and confirm our assertion that it has the potential to revolutionize
the robotic surgery space by democratizing endoluminal procedures with enhanced clinical and economical outcomes," commented
Harel Gadot, CEO, President and Chairman. "The freedom from capital equipment, coupled with the ability to operate LIBERTYTM
remotely, especially in today's COVID-19 healthcare environment, will potentially reduce the cross contamination
between the surgical staff and patients on top of reducing radiation exposure. Overall, we believe that we are in the right market,
at the right time and with the right solution."
Gadot, along with other members of the management team, will be sharing these results at the Needham Virtual Med Tech & Diagnostics
Conference being held today. A copy of the investor presentation, which highlights the initial results of the feasibility animal
study, can be accessed via the Investors' section, under Presentation + Resources' of the Company's
website at www.microbotmedical.com.
Company believes that the LIBERTYTM Robotic System, which was unveiled in January 2020, is the world's
first fully disposable robotic system which features a unique compact design; With the capability to be operated remotely, it
is being designed to reduce radiation exposure, the physical strain to the physician as well as cross contamination between the
surgical staff and patients. In addition, incorporating the technology the Company acquired from CardioSert into the LIBERTYTM
Robotic System, has the potential to eliminate the use of multiple consumables through its "One & Done"
