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, "

"
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

expenses incurred by it in the performance of its duties and
responsibilities under the Agreement. In addition, the Company and

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.
