NanoVibronix Announces IMS Ultrasound (UK) Ltd as its Exclusive UK Distributor for UroShield(TM) Following Successful Interim Trial Results

ELMSFORD, NY--(Marketwired - December 14, 2017) - NanoVibronix, Inc., (NASDAQ: NAOV), a medical device company utilizing the Company's proprietary and patented low intensity surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology, today announced it has signed IMS Ultrasound (UK) Ltd as its exclusive distributor for UroShieldtm in the United Kingdom. IMS Ultrasound is a wholly owned subsidiary of IMS (International Medical Supplies) Euro, a leading international supplier of medical products. The Company also announced that IMS Ultrasound (UK) Ltd has agreed to fund an additional clinical study with the United Kingdom's National Health Service (NHS) to further support its marketing initiatives.

UroShieldtm is an ultrasound-based product that is designed to prevent bacterial colonization and biofilm on indwelling urinary catheters and increase antibiotic efficacy, ultimately reducing the incidence of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI). UroShield is also intended to decrease pain and discomfort associated with urinary catheter use.

CAUTI is the second most common cause of hospital-acquired infection and an estimated 15-25% of patients admitted to NHS hospitals in the United Kingdom each year will require urethral catheterization with a risk of developing bacteriuria of up to 5% per day. Development of CAUTI is estimated to prolong a patient's hospital stay by up to 5 days and is associated with a significant increase in patient mortality.

Andrew Wakeling, Managing Director of IMS Ultrasound (UK) Ltd, commented, "CAUTI is a major health concern in the UK and around the world, leading to extended hospital stays, increased costs, as well as increased patient mortality. We are excited to partner with NanoVibronix in order to bring UroShield to market in the UK, which we believe has enormous potential and could help save many lives. Given the strong supporting clinical data to date, we look forward to conducting an additional clinical trial in the UK with the support of NHS, which we believe will help garner even greater support from payors."

Brian Murphy, Chief Executive Officer of NanoVibronix Inc., commented, "We are excited to report the addition of a significant European distributor partnership for UroShield following our recently announced preliminary clinical results, which demonstrate a material reduction in the rate of CAUTI. UroShield already has European marketing clearance, and this latest data is now helping us to attract the leading distributors across Europe. The fact IMS Ultrasound is willing to fully fund the planned clinical trial in the UK is strong validation of their interest and commitment to our UroShield product."
