Mazor Robotics Receives First Renaissance System Order from Australian Distribution Partner LifeHealthcare
CAESAREA, Israel – March 10, 2013 – Mazor Robotics Ltd. (TASE: MZOR), the developer of Renaissance™, an innovative surgical guidance system and its complementary products, today announced that LifeHealthcare, the Company’s distribution and marketing partner in Australia, has ordered its first Renaissance system. The system will be used for training, marketing, and sales purposes, as the distributor’s sales force penetrates the Australian market. Mazor recently announced on March 3, 2013 that its Renaissance technology received regulatory approval in Australia.
LifeHealthcare is a leading medical devices distributor in Australia and is marketing and distributing the Renaissance technology in the country on behalf of Mazor.

“We are very pleased to work with LifeHealthcare to bring Renaissance to Australia,” said Ori Hadomi, CEO of Mazor. “The system sold marks the first Renaissance to be installed in the region and will be used to demonstrate the value it can bring, helping to increase surgeon accuracy and improve patient outcomes. We look forward to introducing more systems to the Australian spinal surgery community as surgeons become accustomed with the technology and its benefits.”
