ELMSFORD, NY--(Marketwired - April 02, 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 year ended December 31, 2017.

Brian Murphy, Chief Executive Officer of NanoVibronix, commented, "We have now transitioned from an R&D-focused to a fully commercial organization. Towards this end, we achieved a number of major milestones in 2017 that we believe helped lay the foundation for an aggressive sales and marketing push that is now underway in 2018. First, we released successful interim results for two of our existing products, UroShield® and PainShield®, in the fourth quarter of 2017. In one trial, we reported that less than 4% of patients using UroShield developed infections versus 52% in the control group. This initial data has helped attract significant attention, given the fact that catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is a major global health concern and one of the leading causes of hospital acquired infections."

"Similarly, we reported interim results for PainShield, showing a significant improvement in pain scores, quality of life, and a reduction in medications for patients with Trigeminal Neuralgia -- one of, if not the most, painful chronic conditions. We believe our instrument has the potential to help millions of patients worldwide suffering from this painful and debilitating condition. Moreover, we believe this device has potential across a broad array of indications, where our device may help reduce the need for opioids. Final results from both the UroShield and PainShield studies are expected to be ready for submission to a peer-reviewed journal in the second quarter of 2018."

"We have also begun executing our strategy to add new distributors worldwide. In December, we signed IMS Ultrasound (UK) Ltd as an exclusive distributor for UroShield in the United Kingdom, and recently added PainShield to their exclusivity in the United Kingdom. Also, in December, we announced that we have signed Morulaa HealthTech as a regulatory and marketing partner in India. Having just recently commenced our sales and marketing efforts, we are in advanced discussions with a number of other leading distributors around the world."

"As we head into 2018, we are adding key senior executives that will help with our global sales and marketing initiatives. At the same time, we have begun to generate attention in the national media, which we believe is helping drive awareness for our products. We are also witnessing increased support for PainShield among major sports celebrities that are now using the device and have been outspoken on its benefits."

"Lastly, we are continuing to develop our product pipeline and expand our intellectual property portfolio, including a U.S. patent we received in 2017 entitled, "System and Method for Surface Acoustic Wave Treatment of Skin," which further expands our intellectual property portfolio through 2033. Our proprietary SAW technology has been proven to promote profusion and increase oxygen saturation, both essential to a wide range of indications requiring soft tissue repair. Accordingly, we announced the execution of a collaborative agreement with a global cosmetics company to conduct a small trial to assess the efficacy of the company's anti-aging cosmetic device. Following completion of the trial, we look forward to providing further updates."

"Overall, we are extremely pleased with our progress in a relatively short period of time. Importantly, we believe we have maintained a solid balance sheet and are carefully managing our expenses, while continuing to fund product development, clinical trials for additional 510(k) clearances, and continue to implement strategically focused marketing programs. We also believe that the fact we are now listed on the NASDAQ will also help us generate more awareness within the financial community as we continue to execute on our business model."

The Company's also filed its Form 10-K on March 29, 2018, which is available on the Company's website www.nanovibronix.com.
