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”), and Mimic Technologies Inc., a market leader in robotic simulation, announce the collaboration and successful demonstration of a first set of simulation modules for use with Titan’s SPORT Surgical System surgeon workstation.  The successful demonstration of these simulation modules is the first step in the development of a comprehensive surgeon training curriculum for the SPORT Surgical System.

David McNally, President and CEO of Titan Medical, said, “We are thrilled to announce this strategic collaboration with Mimic Technologies, and with the successful demonstration of Mimic’s first simulation modules on our surgeon workstation, deliver an important product development milestone right on schedule. Mimic, with its experience and leadership in simulation training for robotic surgery, provides us with a proven component of surgeon training in preparation for clinical adoption of our SPORT Surgical System. Simulation training has evolved with robotic surgery and it will continue to play a vital role in the successful implementation of new robotic programs. Surgeons and hospital administrators alike have indicated that simulation will remain a preferred training regimen in the future.”

“We are leveraging Mimic’s deep subject matter expertise and well-accepted simulation exercises in order to provide best-in-class simulation training at product launch.  By doing so, we believe we can accelerate the learning curve, reduce training and operating costs, and mitigate potential risks associated with the implementation of our robotic technology,” he added. “We enthusiastically look forward to completing the full simulation training curriculum for our SPORT Surgical System with the Mimic team of simulation experts.”

Jeff Berkley, CEO and Founder of Mimic Technologies, said, “Mimic is delighted to partner with Titan to build revolutionary simulation systems that prepare surgeons for safe and efficient robotic surgery. Both Mimic and Titan believe that training is the cornerstone of a successful robotic surgery program. We applaud Titan’s forward-looking approach to simulation training by its commitment to launch the SPORT Surgical System with a full suite of simulation software in place. By emphasizing simulation as part of a comprehensive training program, we hope to expedite the learning curve for surgeons looking to offer SPORT single port robotic surgery to their patients.”
