NanoVibronix
Provides Business Update
for the Second Quarter of 2018
Revenue increases 153% for the second quarter of 2018
ELMSFORD, NY – August 16, 2018 - NanoVibronix, Inc, (NASDAQ: NAOV), a medical device company utilizing the Company’s proprietary and patented low intensity surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology, today provided a business update for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018.
Brian Murphy, Chief Executive Officer of NanoVibronix, commented, “We believe our commercial strategy is beginning to take hold, as reflected by a 153% increase in sales, albeit off a small base, as our initial distributors have begun marketing our products in their respective markets. In June, we announced that we entered into another distribution agreement with M.D.S. Pharm Ltd. to market and distribute PainShield® and WoundShield® in Israel. We are in active discussions with a number of such distributors around the world. In entering these agreements, we strive to cautiously select a partner that we believe would be the best in each of the respective markets, with an established distribution network spanning insurance and health care providers, retail pharmacies, and other distribution points. At the same time, we are pursuing a number of larger strategic partnerships that may help further accelerate market adoption of our products.”
“We also continue to advance our clinical activities. Last month, we announced successful clinical trial results for our PainShield™ device in treating patients with Trigeminal Neuralgia. Trigeminal Neuralgia is considered one of the most, chronically painful conditions and is associated with a high suicide rate directly attributable to the condition. We saw a dramatic improvement in both pain scores and the use of pain medications such as opioids. We look forward to having these results published in a leading medical journal later this year and plan to aggressively market the device in order to help the millions of patients worldwide suffering from this painful and debilitating condition.”
The Company’s filed its Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2018, with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 14, 2018, which is available on the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov, or the Company’s website, www.nanovibronix.com.
