Delta Medical to Serve as Sub-Distributor to Applied Medical Solutions for Distribution of PainShield to Veterans Administration Facilities

ELMSFORD, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- NanoVibronix Inc., (NASDAQ: NAOV), a medical device company that produces the UroShield® and PainShield® Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) Portable Ultrasonic Therapeutic Devices, today announced that Delta Medical, LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (“SDVOSB”) has been added to the company’s eco-system of distribution channels to help drive sales of its PainShield products to Veteran’s Administration hospitals and healthcare facilities.

Brian Murphy, Chief Executive Officer of NanoVibronix Inc., commented, "Delta Medical is owned and led by Justin A. Brooks, a highly-regarded, decorated veteran with years of medical device experience and an extensive network of relationships within the VA system. As a SDVOSB designated business, Justin’s firm is considered a ‘first priority’ by the VA before other small business program preferences with similar qualifications. The addition of Delta Medical to our team should significantly increase our ability to reach decision makers, which is instrumental in growing sales of PainShield devices to the VA.”

This announcement follows the recent signing of a distribution agreement with Applied Medical Solutions, LLC (“AMS”) for the sale and distribution of its PainShield products to Veterans Administration facilities located throughout the United States. Subsequent to that agreement, AMS has signed Delta Medical as a sub-distributor to help significantly expand its access to physicians at more than 1700 targeted VA facilities.

Justin A. Brooks, Principal Owner of Delta Medical, LLC, commented, “One in three veterans have been diagnosed with a condition related to chronic pain. Opioid-based pain treatments are commonly the prescribed solution, which often leads to dependency and in some cases to overdose. We are passionate about educating the public about non-opioid treatment alternatives that also improve the overall outcomes for veterans who suffer from chronically painful conditions. PainShield has shown to be effective at treating both chronic and acute pain, with no risk of abuse and promotes high patient compliance due to its small size and overall ease of use. We are eager to leverage our network to promote healing for veterans and expand penetration of PainShield products within the VA healthcare system.”

PainShield is an ultrasound device, consisting of a reusable driver unit and a disposable patch, which contains a proprietary therapeutic transducer. PainShield delivers a localized ultrasound effect to treat pain and induce soft tissue healing in a targeted area, while keeping the level of ultrasound energy at a safe and consistent level. Its range of applications includes acute and chronic pain resolution through its many mechanisms of action. The product has been acknowledged by several sports icons and has broad applications for sports injuries. PainShield can be used by patients at home or work or in a clinical setting and can be used even while the patient is sleeping. Patient benefits include ease of application and use, faster recovery time, high compliance, and increased safety and efficacy over existing devices that rely on higher-frequency ultrasound.
