This Significant Achievement Represents Major Progression Toward Regulatory and Commercialization Paths

Additional Sites in the U.S. Are Expected to Participate in the Trial

HINGHAM, Mass., May 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Microbot Medical Inc. (Nasdaq: MBOT) announced that it has successfully achieved another major milestone representing the next step toward the regulatory and commercial paths for the LIBERTY® Robotic Surgical System, the first single-use endovascular robotic system. Lahey Hospital & Medical Center, a world-renowned tertiary academic medical center based in Burlington, Mass., is now expected to be one of the U.S. sites for the first-ever human trial of the LIBERTY Robotic Surgical System. Microbot Medical will work closely with the research team and physician faculty at Lahey to support innovative ways to improve patient care using the LIBERTY Robotic Surgical System.   

“This is another meaningful milestone for Microbot Medical, and clearly demonstrates that we are taking the necessary steps toward future commercialization of the LIBERTY Robotic Surgical System,” commented Harel Gadot, Chairman, President & CEO of Microbot Medical. “We believe our continued momentum and the performance of the system, along with the rigorous process we are adhering to, has made today’s development possible. Having a committed partner brings us one step closer to the clinical trial and advancing the regulatory process.”

“We look forward to working with Lahey’s team of renowned interventional radiologists and leaders in robotic interventional treatments,” commented Dr. Eyal Morag, Chief Medical Officer of Microbot Medical. “Lahey has performed countless human trials, and we believe its involvement, coupled with the performance of LIBERTY Robotic Surgical System during the animal studies, will be invaluable to our clinical advancements as we move into the next phases, including the Institutional Review Board (IRB) process.”

The Company expected next steps include the submission of the Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Institutional Review Board (IRB), among others.
