Soundbite Medical Solutions Announces Issuance of a Fourth U.S. Patent Further Expanding Coverage of its Core Technology

MONTREAL – July 27, 2021 – Soundbite Medical Solutions Inc. (SBMS), a medical device company dedicated to developing solutions for the interventional treatment of calcific peripheral and coronary arterial diseases, today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has issued US patent No. 11,065,645, entitled “Method and system for generating mechanical pulses”.

The patent is directed to a general system comprising a shock wave generator connected to a mechanical waveguide, for the treatment of lesions in blood vessels. It protects the novel Soundbite system architecture, which is used in all products of the company’s burgeoning portfolio.

The patent is expected to expire in December 2036 and will continue to provide key intellectual property protection for the Company’s technology platform.
This is the fourth US patent to be issued around the approved Soundbite technology. Soundbite continues to enhance its patent portfolio with additional patent applications that will broaden and strengthen its patent protection in key markets throughout the world.

“The strength of our patent portfolio is a testament to our highly talented engineering team. The pursuit of excellence in serving our patients begins with medical devices that are unique, differentiated and of the highest quality. Protecting that work and preserving value will establish Soundbite as a leader in its field,” said Lori Chmura, President & CEO of Soundbite.

The SoundBite^® Crossing System – Peripheral (SCS-P) consists of the reusable SoundBite^® Console, a single-use sterile SoundBite^® Active Wire, and their respective accessories. SCS-P leverages Soundbite’s proprietary method to produce and safely deliver shock waves via guidewire platforms to selectively “micro- jackhammer” through calcified lesions.

High calcium burden is present in up to 50% of PAD patients with severe claudication and in >65% of patients with CLI, especially in difficult to treat below-the-knee disease. CTOs are encountered in up to 50% of PAD and CLI patients. CLI is associated with a high risk of lower limb amputation estimated in 10%–40% of patients at 6 months, especially in non-treatable patients.
