The European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction reported that the United Kingdom accounted for 31 percent of Europe’s 8,441 overdose deaths in 2015.
ELMSFORD, NY – December 5, 2017 - NanoVibronix, (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 BHR Pharmaceuticals Ltd., a leading distributor of medical and diagnostic devices to both consumers and healthcare professionals, as its exclusive distributor for PainShield™ in the United Kingdom.
Brian Murphy, Chief Executive Officer of NanoVibronix Inc., commented, “We are excited to report our first European distributor on the heels of our recent interim trial results for patients with Trigeminal Neuralgia. We believe this study, along with our earlier clinical trial results, illustrate the ability of PainShield™ to help treat challenging patient populations, and potentially eliminate or reduce the need for opioids across many indications. The European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction reported that the United Kingdom accounted for 31 percent of Europe’s 8,441 overdose deaths in 2015. This is a staggering number and reinforces the need to reduce the use of opioids and other systemic painkillers, which simply mask pain. In contrast, PainShield™ is an ultrasound-based product designed to treat pain in nerves, muscles, joints and soft tissue through delivery of localized ultrasound, which induces soft tissue healing in targeted areas.”
Bharat Vadukul, Director of BHR Pharmaceuticals Ltd. commented, “Given the strong supporting clinical data, including the recent interim trial results for the PainShield™ device in treating patients with Trigeminal Neuralgia, we look forward to offering PainShield™ through our network of both healthcare professionals and direct-to-consumer, as a means to help reduce the need for opioids and other systemic medications, as well as reduce the need for surgery in many patients.”
