Brian Murphy, CEO of NanoVibronix, commented, “We have been extremely active this year and our focus in 2019 is on expanding our distribution network across Europe and the United States. More importantly, we intend to continue advancing potential licensing and private label opportunities. Our goal is to partner with organizations that have significant sales resources we believe will enable our technologies to penetrate a much broader clinical community. We continue to work toward two separate and unique FDA submissions, which will significantly broaden our sales opportunities. Additionally, we intend to enter into the CBD arena with superior technology and a complementary technology for a CBD-infused PainShield patch that will serve as a further differentiator in the growing yet competitive CBD arena. We are being deliberate and realistic in our approach, but expect rapid adoption of our products.”

“The critical and essential upcoming goals in 2019 include our submissions to the FDA for both PainShield and UroShield. The US market is well suited for rapid adoption and provides both favorable economics as well as a sizeable and dynamic healthcare market-representing a significant opportunity for our company.”

Mr. Murphy concluded, “We continue to receive positive feedback on the clinical effects of our products. While gratifying, it also serves as a validation of the superiority of our technologies. I believe we have the right technology for the benefit of providers, business partners, patients, and ultimately, our shareholders.”
