ScoutCam Enters Orthopedic Market with New Development and Manufacturing Agreement for Integrated Visualization Device with A.M. Surgical Inc.

OMER, Israel, June 26, 2018 – Medigus Ltd. (NASDAQ:MDGS) (TASE:MDGS), a medical device company developing minimally invasive endosurgical tools and an innovator in direct visualization technology, today announced that they have entered into a development agreement with A.M. Surgical, Inc., an orthopedic company that develops and markets minimally invasive surgical devices for the upper & lower extremity surgeon. The agreement requires Medigus to develop and manufacture an integrated visualization device based on its micro ScoutCam™ technology to work with Stratos™, the A.M. Surgical product for endoscopic procedures.

Under the agreement, Medigus will provide prototypes of the integrated visualization device, followed by production of the first two batches of the integrated visualization device. The total project budget is $780,000, which will be paid based on milestones. The Medigus/A.M Surgical integrated visualization device may have the long-term potential of offering a higher level of surgical control and visualization during endoscopic carpal tunnel release for hundreds of thousands of procedures annually in the US.

The micro ScoutCam™ portfolio of products includes a range of video cameras with small diameter heads that use CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) based sensors. These innovative cameras are suitable for both medical and industrial applications. Medigus designs and manufactures endoscopic and micro camera systems for partner companies, including major players in the medical and industrial fields. Medigus is committed to provide integrated solutions to meet its customer’s imaging needs.
