Corindus Reports Second Quarter 2018 Results

Advancing Development Programs for Remote Robotics and Neurovascular Applications

WALTHAM, Mass.--()--Corindus Vascular Robotics, Inc. [NYSE American: CVRS], a leading developer of precision vascular robotics, today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2018.

Recent Highlights and Accomplishments

  • Accelerated initiatives to expand robotic treatment into neurovascular procedures. Announced Aquilla “Quill” Turk, D.O. as Chief Medical Officer of Neurovascular Interventions and formed a Steering Committee of eight neurovascular physicians to advance robotic technology for neurovascular interventions and acute stroke care
  • Meaningful progress in the development of remote vascular robotic technology. Successful telestenting procedure from a remote distance greater than 100 miles at Spectrum Health completed by Ryan Madder, M.D. in a porcine model and significant progress in pre-clinical trials evaluating remote robotics with the Mayo Clinic
  • Expansion in Japan. Received Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Agency (PMDA) approval for CorPath GRX System in Japan and began commercial launch with distribution partner, Japan MedicalNext, Co. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Mitsubishi Healthcare)

"We have made meaningful progress advancing the development of remote-telestenting which has, in turn, led to the acceleration of our efforts to address the neurovascular market. We are focusing our clinical and development work in this area to leverage the GRX platform and expand upon what we are building in the interventional suite with PCI and peripheral applications,” stated Mark Toland, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Despite purchase timing uncertainties and capital budget cycles at the hospital administration level which have impacted our results in the first half of the year, we remain confident in our long-term ability to drive widespread robotics implementation."

About Corindus Vascular Robotics, Inc.

Corindus Vascular Robotics, Inc. is a global technology leader in robotic-assisted vascular interventions. The Company's CorPath® System is the first FDA-cleared medical device to bring robotic precision to percutaneous coronary and percutaneous vascular procedures. During the procedure, the interventional cardiologist sits at a radiation-shielded workstation to advance guide catheters, stents, and guidewires with millimeter-by-millimeter precision. The workstation allows the physician greater control and the freedom from wearing heavy lead protective equipment that causes musculoskeletal injuries. CorPath GRX is the second generation robotic-assisted PCI technology offering enhancements to the platform by adding important key upgrades that increase precision, improve workflow, and extend the capabilities and range of procedures that can be performed robotically. With the CorPath System, Corindus Vascular Robotics brings robotic precision to interventional procedures to help optimize clinical outcomes and minimize the costs associated with complications of improper stent placement during manual procedures. Corindus stands behind its product with its unique $1,000 hospital credit "One Stent Program." For additional information, visit www.corindus.com, and follow @CorindusInc.
