Titan Medical Granted Patent Related to Instrument End-Effector for Use in Robotic Surgery

TORONTO, Feb. 27, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Titan Medical Inc. (“Titan” or the “Company”) (TSX:TMD) (OTCQB:TITXF), a medical device company focused on the design, development and commercialization of a robotic surgical system for application in minimally invasive surgery (“MIS”), has been granted Canadian Patent No. CA 2,982,615, titled “End Effector Apparatus for a Surgical Instrument.” This patent is related generally to a novel end-effector actuation mechanism, especially suitable for small instruments, such as those used in laparoscopic and robotic surgery. A corresponding patent application is pending in the U.S. With the issuance of this patent, the Company has ownership of 21 issued patents and has 49 patent applications pending.

David McNally, President and CEO of Titan Medical said, “Last year, we were granted our first patents related to our single port robotic surgical system and we are pleased to continue the building of our patent estate in 2018. This invention potentially allows us a unique means for actuating a small-scale end-effector, something that is critical when working with smaller instruments for single-port surgery. We expect to expand our patent portfolio with a corresponding favorable grant of the pending U.S. patent application, as well as through additional grants and filings covering innovative single-port related technologies.”
