The connector

The multi size disposal adaptors

The applicator

END TO SIDE [E2S - MySide] Automated Vascular Anastomosis Device MySide Automated Vascular Anastomosis Device includes two parts: the Connector and the Applicator.

The Connector: The connector is a "ring" shape with anchoring members. It made of Nitinle, a Bio-grade material with super elastic characters.

The connector has a special design that allows its anchoring members to spontaneously sew the vessels to be connected. Additional unique

features enable tightening of the vessels to each other to achieve sealing of the anastomosis and eliminate blood leakage. The connector is

inserted into a disposable adaptor which allows its attachment to the applicator. The image on the right illustrates a set of multi size disposable

adaptors.

The Applicator: The applicator is "Gun-Like" structured. Its narrow and slim design is perfect for advanced minimally invasive procedures as well

as for standard open surgery approach. The trigger operation enables ideal control on the procedure and its outcomes.

The MySide Features:

Mimicking the traditional manual suture.

Automated procedure.

Allows Intim-2-Intima attachment.

Enables perfect alignment.

The MySide Advantages

The Clinical Applications and Market Landscape The vascular surgery is necessary in various cases such as a significant reduction of blood flow (caused by narrowing of the caliber of an artery) that results in pain

and functional limitation. The surgical treatment consists of the exclusion of the restricted section of the artery and the construction of a detour-bridge (bypass) in

order to restore the blood flow. The bypasses are made usually by using, as conduits, a segment of vein or prosthesis.

Three main circumstances require creation of an artificial connection or reconnection of blood vessels:

The obstruction of a major artery usually due to arteriosclerosis, a disease where deposits of fats and calcium at the vessel's wall gradually obstruct it;

The creation of direct connection between an artery and a vein for haemodialysis patients;

The tear or transection of major artery.

The anastomosis market potential for SeamVad products is constructed of three main fields:

Coronary Artery Bypass Graft [Heart attack];

Peripheral Artery Bypass and Transplantations;

Arteriovenous Fistula or Graft Bypass.

Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a type of surgery that improves blood flow to the heart. Surgeons use CABG to treat people who have severe coronary heart disease (CHD). According to the American Heart Association 500,000 coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgeries were performed in

the United States each year, making it one of the most commonly performed major operations.

CABG surgery is advised for selected groups of patients with significant narrowing and blockages of the heart arteries

(coronary artery disease). CABG surgery creates new routes around narrowed and blocked arteries, allowing sufficient

blood flow to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle. The surgeons can bypass multiple coronary arteries

during one surgery.

Peripheral Artery Disease [PAD] procedures and trends

According to the TASC report, PAD affects more than 27 million patients in North America and Europe. These people are at high risk of arterial occlusion, and are

candidates for peripheral vascular bypass surgery. The prevalence of PAD has been evaluated in several epidemiologic studies and is in the range of 3–10%,

increasing to 15–20% in people aged over 70 years old. Patients with peripheral vascular disease can suffer from

decreased blood flow which can lead to disability and amputation, stroke or blood clots, and death.

Peripheral artery bypass surgery is a procedure to treat PAD and restore blood flow to the legs by redirecting

blood around the blocked or narrowed artery. Peripheral artery bypass surgery is similar to coronary artery

bypass surgery (CABG), a treatment for disease in the arteries that supply blood to the heart. During the surgery,

a healthy vein from another part of the body (usually the saphenous vein that runs from the ankle to the thigh) is

used to re-route blood around the diseased artery. 0

Arteriovenous Fistula or Graft Bypass

More than 1 in 1,000 patients in the U.S. has end-stage renal disease, and most patients who require renal-replacement

therapy undergo haemodialysis.

By the year 2020, more than 750,000 patients are expected to have end-stage renal disease, and over 500,000 will

require haemodialysis.

A vascular access process should be prepared weeks or months before the patient start dialysis. The early preparation of

the vascular access will allow easier and more efficient removal and replacement of its blood with fewer complications.

The three basic kinds of vascular access for haemodialysis are an arteriovenous (AV) fistula, an AV graft, and a venous

catheter.

Arteriovenous fistula: A surgeon creates an AV fistula by connecting an artery directly to a vein, frequently in the forearm. Connecting the artery to the vein causes more blood to flow into the vein. As a result, the vein grows larger and stronger, making repeated needle insertions for haemodialysis treatments easier. For the surgery, only a local aesthetic is needed. In most cases, the procedure can be performed on an outpatient basis.

Arteriovenous graft: Used mainly for small veins that won’t develop properly into a fistula, the patient can get a vascular access that connects an artery to a vein using a synthetic tube, or graft, implanted under the skin in its arm. The graft becomes an artificial vein that can be used repeatedly for needle placement and blood access during haemodialysis.

Venous Catheter: The catheter is placed into a large vein in the neck, chest or groin. It is used to administer medication or fluids, obtain blood tests and directly obtain cardiovascular measurements such as the central venous pressure. A hollow needle is advanced through the skin until blood is aspirated.

Major Drivers According to Research and Markets, the major driving factor for these markets would be the increasing demand for minimally invasive percutaneous endovascular

treatment. As the incidence cases of coronary and PAD continue to rise in the coming years along with increasing trends in co-morbid conditions such as obesity

and diabetes, the vascular interventional devices market for treating these diseases would show significant growth in the forecast period.

The principal advantage of minimally invasive endovascular procedures over surgery is short recovery time, short length scars, low risk of infection, bleeding, and

shorter hospital stays.

The minimally invasive surgical procedures are increasingly being used since the last decade as an alternative to vascular surgery. The coronary and PAD

market together contribute to this growth in interventional procedures. The peripheral angioplasty is expected to reach 3.3 million procedures by 2016, while

coronary angioplasty procedures are estimated to reach 4.5 million procedures by 2016.

Major Players The major players in the market include Abbott Vascular, Boston Scientific, MedtronicInc, C.R.BardInc. (U.S.), BBraunInc.(Germany), CookMedical(U.S.),

CordisCorp.(U.S.), St.JudeMedical(U.S.), TeleflexMedical(U.S.), Terumo Interventional Systems Inc.(Japan), Bayer, Edward Life sciences, and Covidien (Ireland).
