Exhibit 99.1

 

IceCure’s Next-Generation Multiprobe Cryoablation Technology Issued Notice of Allowance from Japan’s Patent Office

 

Invention facilitates treatment of larger tumors and is a significant leap forward in the field of cryoablation

 

CAESAREA, Israel, November 25, 2024 – IceCure Medical Ltd. (Nasdaq: ICCM) (“IceCure”, “IceCure Medical” or the “Company”), developer of minimally-invasive cryoablation technology that destroys tumors by freezing as an alternative to surgical tumor removal, today announced it has received a Notice of Allowance from the Japan Patent Office for its invention titled “Cryogenic System with Multiple Submerged Pumps”.

 

The patent addresses a cryogenic system featuring multiple submerged pumps that enable IceCure to introduce a groundbreaking next-generation multiprobe system. This advanced technology allows for high-end capabilities to independently control and maintain the performance of each cryoprobe, facilitating the treatment of large tumors.

 

“As a core technology for our next-generation MSense™ multiprobe cryoablation system, we believe that our latest innovation not only expands our intellectual property and product portfolio, but also represents a significant leap forward in the field of cryoablation procedures,” stated IceCure’s Chief Executive Officer, Eyal Shamir. “Japan is a market in which we are active through our partner, Terumo Corporation, which plans to file for regulatory approval of ProSense® for breast cancer in 2025.”
