EDAP TMS S.A. Adds Global Distribution of LMA StoneBreaker(TM) System
LYON, France, June 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- EDAP TMS S.A. (Nasdaq: EDAP), the global leader in High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) treatment of prostate cancer and provider of ESWL devices for the treatment or urinary stones today announces exclusive distribution of the LMA Urology Suisse S.A. StoneBreaker system in the Malaysia and Korea domestic markets. The Agreement with LMA also grants EDAP worldwide exclusive distribution of the StoneBreaker when bundled with EDAP's existing range of products. This adds to the company's successful March 2007 launch as the exclusive StoneBreaker distributor in LMA's French territory.

The LMA Stonebreaker^™ is a portable intra-corporeal contact lithotripter which fragments stones in the urinary tract. This handheld system complements extracorporeal lithotripsy procedures performed with ESWL devices. The system, manufactured in Switzerland, received the CE mark in June 2006 and is validated by extensive clinical trials confirming the effectiveness of this cynetic intracorporeal lithotripsy technique.

Marc Oczachowski, Chief Executive Officer of EDAP TMS, added, "This agreement offers EDAP a key and unique element of differentiation within the current mature and very competitive lithotripsy market. We are confident that the StoneBreaker combined with our range of extracorporeal lithotripters will strongly support our ESWL sales. This exclusivity agreement also comes at a proper timing in light of the anticipated launch of our new Sonolith I-sys. This will definitely help support our marketing by promoting all complementary options offered by our new device."

Paul Molloy, President and Managing Director of LMA Urology Suisse S.A., commented, "We are pleased to further cement our relationship with EDAP in Malaysia and Korea, expanding upon our successful collaboration in France. Our technologies are highly synergistic, and the EDAP organization in these countries is well suited to our objective to make the innovative LMA StoneBreaker^™ device available to all of the urology medical community there."
