Medovex Corporation Names Charlie Farrahar Chief Financial
Officer
ATLANTA,
GA--(Marketwired - Aug 17, 2017) - Medovex Corp. (NASDAQ: MDVX)
("Medovex" or the "Company"), the developer of the DenerveX™
System, a new and novel device designed for enduring relief of
Facet Joint Syndrome related to back pain, today reported it has
named Charlie Farrahar as its Chief Financial Officer.
Charlie
Farrahar is a Certified Public Accountant with over 30 years of
managerial finance, administration, human resource and risk
management experience in the public, private and non-profit
sectors. Mr. Farrahar was the first Chief Financial officer of the
Company from its inception through IPO. He remained with the
Company as its Secretary only from January 2015 until August 2017,
when he agreed to resume the CFO role.
Mr.
Farrahar currently serves as Chief Financial Officer for several
small private biotech companies in the research and development
stage. In 2003 he joined a private governmental assistance startup
as it’s CFO and Director of Human Resources, helping with the
sale of that company to a private entity in 2011 after it had grown
to a multi-state operation with over 400 employees. In the late
1990’s he was CFO of Credit Depot Corp.
(Nasdaq).
At its
August 16, 2017 quarterly Board meeting, the Board asked Charlie
Farrahar, Company Secretary, to become Chief Financial Officer, a
role he held from the inception of the Company through its initial
public offering. Jeffery Wright, the former CFO, agreed to become
the Company’s first Controller.
Jarrett
Gorlin, Medovex Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We’re
excited by the enthusiastic reception we’ve seen thus far to
the Denervex product and realize that we have to properly support
sustained revenue growth. One area affected by this growth is the
financial/accounting function. With the addition of overseas sales
and all the administration that entails, we were no longer able to
have just one full-time person in the finance
area.”
Gorlin
continued, “We asked Charlie Farrahar to become CFO so Jeff
Wright could focus on assisting our sales and distribution efforts
as we expand sales into multiple countries. They have complementary
skill sets and work well together. Their combined experience should
allow us to properly steward anticipated growth associated with the
launch of a successful new product targeting a broad
audience.”
The
Company’s DenerveX System recently received CE Mark approval
and clearance for commercialization in the European countries and
offers a unique way to perform a Facet Joint Syndrome
treatment.
Facet
Joint Syndrome (FJS), also known as spinal osteoarthritis, spinal
arthritis, or facet joint osteoarthritis, is a significant health
and economic problem in the United States and other countries in
the EU and Rest of World affecting millions each year. Current
treatment options are generally temporary and there is no proven
long-lasting option for FJS.
The
DenerveX System is a highly differentiated technology. It
denervates and removes capsular tissue from the Facet Joint in one
single procedure. Treatment results from the combined effect of a
deburring or polishing action and RF ablation treatment on the
Facet Joint. Using this new technique, the slowly rotating burr
removes the targeted facet joint synovial membrane and joint
surface while the heat ablation destroys tissue and denudes any
residual nervous and synovial membrane overlying the joint,
removing the end point sensory tissue of the joint.
The
DenerveX System consists of the DenerveX Kit which contains the
DenerveX Device, a single use medical device and the DenerveX
Pro-40 Power Generator. DenerveX system is not yet FDA
cleared.
About Medovex

potentially ground breaking medical technology products. Criteria
for selection include those products with potential for significant
improvement in the quality of patient care combined with cost
effectiveness. The Company's first pipeline product, the DenerveX
device, is intended to provide long lasting relief from pain
associated with facet joint syndrome at significantly less cost
than currently available options. To learn more about Medovex
