      Merit Medical Reports Record Revenues for First Quarter of 2018

      Recently we entered into a long-term agreement with NinePoint Medical to become the exclusive worldwide distributor for the NvisionVLE® Imaging System with Real-time Targeting™ using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). We believe this product line will enhance the product offerings of our Endotek Division and will be another step to adding therapy and disease-state products to our accessories. Although the products have both 510(k) and CE mark clearances, sales have been limited to the United States due to resource limitations. Merit plans to launch these globally on a measured basis, which we anticipate will strengthen our global Endotek expansion.”
