Galil Medical Launches Innovative Cryotherapy System



    Today, Galil Medical launches the Presice(TM) Cryotherapy System
    for the treatment of renal and prostate cancer, at the prestigious
    22nd annual European Association of Urology (EAU) Congress in Berlin,
    which sets new standards in cryoablation.

    A live cryosurgery satellite session, will be undertaken in
    Rotenburg, on Wednesday 21st March 2007 from 09.05 - 09.30. The
    surgery, using the new Presice(TM) Cryotherapy System, will be
    performed by Dr Ulrich Witzsch from Krankenhaus Nordwest in Frankfurt,
    and heralds a significant advance in cryotherapy.

    Dr Peter Nylund, Urologist from Vassa Central Hospital in Finland
    who has used the Presice(TM) Cryotherapy System on both prostate and
    renal cancer patients says: "My personal experience with the
    Presice(TM) Cryotherapy System is that it is very efficacious and safe
    for the patients, with great clinical outcomes. In addition, my
    patients have all returned home relatively quickly after the
    procedure.

    "The IceVue(TM) planning software in particular has made the whole
    process easier, as you can view tumours in 3D and plan the positioning
    of the multi thermal sensor needles, which are thinner and so allow
    for a more accurate procedure."

    Licensed for the cryotherapy treatment for renal and prostate
    cancer, the Presice(TM) Cryoablation System revolutionises minimally
    invasive cryotherapy with a state-of-the-art freezing technology,
    patented 17 g needle design with sharper tips, planning and simulation
    software, and streamlined workflow. The system has been designed to
    achieve optimal therapeutic benefit with minimal intervention.

    In December 2006, Galil Medical completed the purchase of its
    cryotherapy assets from Oncura to spearhead expansion into Europe, and
    its acquisition of this innovative technology is enabling the company
    to expand into new therapeutic areas throughout Europe.
