TCB, is a associated partner of Kalms & Partner Consulting (http://www.kalmsconsult.com/) based in Berlin, Germany offers a complete consultancy service for medical device manufacturers and selected services for pharmaceutical companies.

Manfred Sablowski, Senior Vice President Global Sales & Marketing of Medovex, stated, "TCB - Berlin in Germany serves as a perfect call point fit for our mission to provide a successful distribution, sales and marketing foundation for our entry and expansion of our footprint of the DenerveX System in the most important market in Europe."
On March 13, 2017, the Company previously announced that the reimbursement authority in Germany had renewed reimbursement payment coding for the DenerveX System technology for the treatment of the Facet Joint Syndrome for 2017.
The renewed reimbursement coding, effective immediately, was released in the Diagnosis-Related Group (DRG) system in 2017 in Germany. This new coding allows for hospitals and outpatient centers to receive reimbursement for the use of the DenerveX System for the treatment of the Facet Joint Syndrome in the spine.
According to Dennis Moon, Executive Vice President of Medovex, "The renewal of the reimbursement code for 2017 in Germany will be a significant driver for our European launch preparation for the DenerveX System. We look forward to targeting the German market through our new relationship with TCB - Berlin as the country is often recognized as a leader in early clinical adoption of new and cost effective technologies, being on the forefront of establishing reimbursement guidelines. Reimbursement is perhaps the most foundational element supporting adoption for a medical technology."
