Thirty spine surgeons from Europe and Latin America attended the lab, both experiencing and using the device.
Jarrett Gorlin, Medovex CEO, commented, "Design, development and commercialization of our flagship patented DenerveX System has been years in the making. It was designed by surgeons for surgeons to be less invasive with faster recovery time than current surgical treatment options, and is designed to provide for a longer lasting treatment solution while offering potential savings to the health care system. We are pleased with the recent completion of the final CE Mark audit meeting conducted February 7-9, 2017 by LNE/GMED, a French-based Notified Body firm."
Gorlin concluded, "My personal commitment is no better evidenced than by my recent insider purchases as filed in recent Form 4 filings made with the SEC. In addition, both our Co-founder and VP of Business Development have too made recent insider purchases. I believe it important that we lead by example putting our own money where our mouth is. Recent filings memorializing our own actions affirm our collective commitment and belief in both our team and the opportunity."
