BRAINTREE, Mass., Oct. 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Microbot Medical Inc. (Nasdaq: MBOT), developer of the innovative LIBERTY Robotic Surgical System, today announces additional updates regarding positive outcomes of its previously announced pivotal pre-clinical study using the LIBERTY Robotic Surgical System.

The pivotal study was conducted by three leading interventional radiologists that utilized the LIBERTY Robotic Surgical System to reach a total of 48 animal targets. In a series of visual testing, preformed 72 hours following each procedure, examination of the animals treated with the LIBERTY Robotic Surgical System showed no visual evidence of vascular injury or any other visual adverse event.
