Project title: MICROCAN SURGICAL TOOL FOR THE TREATMENT OF RETINAL VEIN OCCLUSION (RVO)

Company name : MICROVASCULAR EYE TECHNOLOGY LTD.

TECHNOLOGY
LTD.

TECHNOLOGICAL FIELD
Ophthalmic Chirurgical Tools

KEY WORDS
Retinal Vein Occlusion
(RVO), CRVO, Ophthalmic Chirurgical Tools, Stainless Steel
Micro-Cannula, T-PA, Thrombolytic Agents

PROJECT SUMMARY
Understanding that the most efficient way to treat RVO and other
ocular diseases and disorders, is through direct delivery of
therapeutic agents to the retinal blood vessels, Microvascular
Eye Technology (MET) has designed and developed, MicroCan. This
proprietary device consists of a stainless steel cannula that is
less than 100 microns in diameter. It is specially curved to
allow retinal surgeons to maneuver within the confines of the eye
and precisely sharpened to allow penetration of the very small
retinal veins. MicroCan enables surgeons direct delivery of
fibrinolytic agents into the veins to treat RVO. Antibiotics and
other drugs to treat ocular infections and tumors can also be
administered.
MicroCan will enable successful treatment of a variety of ocular
diseases and disorders, greatly reducing the incidence of vision
deterioration and blindness.

ADVANTAGES
Safe and reliable MicroCan tool for the treatment of RVO and
other ocular disease and disorders. MET's strength lies in it R&D
capabilities and the expert medical team that supports it.

ENTREPRENEUR
Mr. Ehud Almon - CEO

PROJECT STATUS
Preliminary design and development of MicroCan are in advanced
stages of prototype development. Feasibility of the device has
been proven and Helsinki committee approval to begin pre-clinical
trials obtained. Shortened regulatory processes are expected. The
Company foresees first commercial sales during Q2 2006.

COOPERATION REQUIRED
Strategic partnership and financial investment to enable
initiation of clinical trails and completing CE-Mark and FDA
pprovals. Sales partnership with strategic partner or
distribution agreements with independent channels.
