Recent Company History
Over the last few months, Microbot has transitioned LIBERTY from clearance to commercial rollout, moving from its clinical debut and limited market release in Q4 2025 to initial hospital adoption and 2026 milestone setting. Several announcements around FDA 510(k) clearance, limited market release, and Emory’s first-in-world adoption generated sizable moves (including a 21.81% gain on Nov 26, 2025), while other positive commercialization and conference updates saw selloffs. Today’s ISET-focused exposure continues this theme of conference-driven visibility and commercialization progress.
The company has an active shelf registration on Form S-3/A dated 2025-10-28, intended to become effective under Section 8(a). It has been used at least 2 times via 424B3 prospectus supplements filed on 2025-11-19, indicating established capacity to access capital markets if needed.
This announcement reinforces Microbot’s strategy of using major conferences to build clinical and commercial momentum for LIBERTY, highlighting its status as an FDA-cleared, single-use, remotely operated system for peripheral endovascular procedures. Recent history shows a mix of strong rallies and selloffs around similar commercialization milestones, while regulatory filings detail active capital markets tools and ongoing rollout plans. Investors may watch adoption breadth across hospitals and the planned April 2026 full market release as key markers of execution.
endovascular medical
“International Symposium on Endovascular Therapy (ISET) conference, which took place…”
Endovascular describes medical procedures performed inside blood vessels using thin tubes, wires, and implantable devices guided by imaging—like repairing a broken pipe from the inside rather than opening the wall. It matters to investors because these less-invasive techniques can shorten hospital stays, lower complication rates and create demand for specialized devices and imaging equipment, so changes in adoption, regulation or reimbursement can materially affect healthcare company revenues and margins.
endovascular robotics medical
“Advances in Endovascular Robotics: Will There be a Role in the Future?”
Endovascular robotics are robotic systems that steer tiny tubes, wires and tools inside blood vessels during minimally invasive procedures, often from a console or with computer assistance. Like switching from hand-driving to GPS-assisted steering, they can make delicate vascular work more precise, reduce complications and radiation exposure, and enable procedures in more settings — factors that can expand market size, cut costs, and create new hardware, software and disposable revenue streams for investors.
limited market release technical
“LIBERTY® Continues to Gain Commercial Traction and Exposure as Part of Its Limited Market Release (LMR) in the US”
A limited market release is a staged launch of a product or service into a small group of customers, a specific region, or select sales channels before a full nationwide or global rollout. For investors it signals an early test of demand, production and distribution systems—like a pilot episode or a test drive—providing advance evidence about revenue potential, customer acceptance and the risks or costs of scaling up.
single-use technical
“The LIBERTY System, the only FDA cleared, single-use endovascular robotic system…”
Single-use describes a product designed to be used one time and then discarded or destroyed, like a disposable cup or a single-use syringe. For investors, it matters because these items create repeat sales of consumables, carry different regulatory and safety standards than reusable products, and can influence manufacturing costs, supply chain needs, liability exposure, and environmental or disposal responsibilities that affect a company’s profitability and risk profile.
remotely operated technical
“the only FDA cleared, single-use, remotely operated robotic system for peripheral endovascular procedures”
Operated from a distance using communications links, controls or software rather than by someone physically present at the device or site. For investors, remotely operated systems can lower labor and travel costs, improve safety in hazardous locations, and enable faster scaling, but they also introduce dependency on connectivity, cybersecurity and remote-maintenance capabilities—risks that can affect reliability and long‑term costs.
peripheral endovascular medical
“remotely operated robotic system for peripheral endovascular procedures…”
Peripheral endovascular describes minimally invasive procedures that treat diseases of arteries and veins outside the heart—typically in the legs, arms or neck—by reaching the blood vessel from the inside using catheters, balloons, stents or similar tools to clear blockages or reinforce vessels without open surgery. Investors care because these techniques drive demand for specialized medical devices, affect procedure volumes, reimbursement and recovery times, and can shift market share much like fixing a clogged garden hose from the inside instead of digging it up.
interventional radiologists medical
“included leading interventional radiologists, interventional cardiologists, and vascular surgeons…”
Interventional radiologists are doctors who use medical imaging (like X‑rays, CT scans, or ultrasound) as a live “GPS” to guide thin instruments and small needles to treat conditions without open surgery. For investors, they matter because their techniques drive demand for specialized imaging machines, disposable devices and new minimally invasive therapies, influence hospital procedure mix and reimbursement trends, and can shorten recovery times that affect healthcare costs and patient volumes.
radiation exposure medical
“designed for precise vascular navigation while aiming to reduce radiation exposure and physical strain”
Radiation exposure is the amount of ionizing energy from sources like X-rays, medical treatments, industrial equipment, or nuclear materials that people, products, or environments receive; think of it like sun exposure but from invisible high-energy rays that can damage cells over time. Investors care because excessive exposure can trigger health risks, regulatory fines, facility shutdowns, cleanup costs and liability claims, all of which can affect a company’s operations, reputation and financial outlook.
