D. Medical Industries Ltd. (Nasdaq:DMED) (TASE:DMED) ("D. Medical" or the "Company"), announced today that its subsidiaries, Spring Health Solutions Ltd. and Spring Set Health Solutions Ltd. (collectively, "Spring Health"), have entered into an original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") agreement (the "Agreement") with Twobiens Ltd., a leading South Korea-based supplier of diabetes treatment and drug delivery products, for the worldwide distribution of its Spring Universal™ Detach Detect Infusion Sets under Twobiens' private label.

The Agreement is for a term of three years and contains annual sales targets and minimum order quantities estimated at a total of US$5 Million. Twobiens shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in the performance of its duties and responsibilities under the Agreement. In addition, the Company and Spring Health retain all of their proprietary and intellectual property rights.   

Efri Argaman, D. Medical's Chief executive Officer, commented, "In parallel with managing the ongoing strategic restructuring process that was announced in March 2012, we are pursuing major OEM and other high volume sales opportunities, such as this exciting new partnership with Twobiens.  This partnership is expected to increase the pace of bringing our novel technology to more people with diabetes. At the same time, we continue to explore various licensing and other opportunities designed to maximize shareholder value."

Kyu Dong Choi, President and CEO of Twobiens, said, "Patient interest in ground-breaking new products for diabetes management, like the Spring Universal Infusion Set, is increasing rapidly and we are very pleased to be able to market and sell it under our private label. We are also impressed by D. Medical's strong record of achievement in clinical and commercial product innovation. Indeed, we are now working together to examine ways that we might potentially extend our commercial relationship beyond Spring Universal."

About the Spring Universal Infusion Set

The Spring Universal Infusion Set is compatible with most insulin pumps currently available on the market. Going beyond the minimum requirements of subcutaneous drug delivery, the Spring Universal offers best-in-class features such as a hidden, auto-retractable needle, 360 degree connector, and smallest one-click, all-in-one inserter.

The core of the Spring Universal Infusion Set is the proprietary Detach-Detect mechanism. In the case, the base of the infusion set detaches from the user's body, a blocking mechanism is triggered which, in turn, creates an occlusion. This evokes an occlusion alarm in an insulin pump. This unique feature enables exceptional reliability for continuously controlled and monitored insulin delivery, providing additional safety and peace of mind - especially for athletes and the parents of pediatric patients.
