Historical Context
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Feb 05 | Conference showcase | Positive | -6.9% | LIBERTY showcased at Society of Interventional Oncology to drive adoption. |
| Jan 12 | Milestones update | Positive | +1.9% | Reported 2025 progress and outlined 2026 commercial milestones for LIBERTY. |
| Nov 26 | First hospital adoption | Positive | +21.8% | Emory University Hospital became first clinical adopter of LIBERTY system. |
| Nov 05 | LMR launch | Positive | +5.0% | Announced start of U.S. limited market release for LIBERTY system. |

Commercialization and conference-related LIBERTY updates have often been positive catalysts, but reactions have been mixed, with both strong rallies and notable selloffs on generally positive news.
Over the last few months, Microbot has transitioned LIBERTY from clearance to commercial rollout, moving from its clinical debut and limited market release in Q4 2025 to initial hospital adoption and 2026 milestone setting. Several announcements around FDA 510(k) clearance, limited market release, and Emory’s first-in-world adoption generated sizable moves (including a 21.81% gain on Nov 26, 2025), while other positive commercialization and conference updates saw selloffs. Today’s ISET-focused exposure continues this theme of conference-driven visibility and commercialization progress.
Regulatory & Risk Context
The company has an active shelf registration on Form S-3/A dated 2025-10-28, intended to become effective under Section 8(a). It has been used at least 2 times via 424B3 prospectus supplements filed on 2025-11-19, indicating established capacity to access capital markets if needed.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement reinforces Microbot’s strategy of using major conferences to build clinical and commercial momentum for LIBERTY, highlighting its status as an FDA-cleared, single-use, remotely operated system for peripheral endovascular procedures. Recent history shows a mix of strong rallies and selloffs around similar commercialization milestones, while regulatory filings detail active capital markets tools and ongoing rollout plans. Investors may watch adoption breadth across hospitals and the planned April 2026 full market release as key markers of execution.

International Symposium on Endovascular Therapy (ISET) Convened Key Opinion Leaders to Discuss Advancements and Future Role of Endovascular Robotics
LIBERTY® Continues to Gain Commercial Traction and Exposure as Part of Its Limited Market Release (LMR) in the US
HINGHAM, Mass., Feb. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Microbot Medical Inc. (Nasdaq: MBOT), developer and distributor of the innovative LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic System, announced that LIBERTY was featured at the International Symposium on Endovascular Therapy (ISET) conference, which took place February 9-12, 2026, in Miami Beach, Florida. The International Symposium on Endovascular Therapy brings together current and emerging endovascular experts to examine new techniques, technologies, and procedures that advance patient care.
During a Town Hall session, titled Advances in Endovascular Robotics: Will There be a Role in the Future?, which included leading interventional radiologists, interventional cardiologists, and vascular surgeons discussing real-world clinical experience, one of the featured agenda items focused on the future of single-use handheld vascular robots, which specifically highlighted the LIBERTY Endovascular Robotic System. The LIBERTY System, the only FDA cleared, single-use endovascular robotic system, was discussed prominently, highlighting its seamless workflow integration and features, which the Company believes will be key drivers for broader adoption and shape the next phase of peripheral endovascular intervention. As procedures become more complex and operator demands are expected to continue to grow, robotic assistance offers a potential solution to challenges many clinicians face daily.
“ISET plays a meaningful role in shaping the future of endovascular innovation, providing a platform where healthcare leadership and emerging technologies converge. We believe that LIBERTY’s inclusion in this important dialogue confirms the commercial traction of LIBERTY and reinforces our position among a prestigious group of interventional radiologists, vascular surgeons and other clinical decision makers,” commented Harel Gadot, President, CEO & Chairman. “To date, LIBERTY has been used across multiple hospitals for a wide range of procedure types, including complex cases. We have seen increased interest from physicians across several specialties within the same account and network of hospitals, including interventional radiology, interventional oncology, vascular surgery and interventional cardiology, which we believe is reinforcing its broad clinical relevance in the peripheral space and expanding overall commercial opportunity.”
LIBERTY is the only FDA cleared, single-use, remotely operated robotic system for peripheral endovascular procedures, and it is designed for precise vascular navigation while aiming to reduce radiation exposure and physical strain. The Company commenced the limited market release of the LIBERTY system in late 2025 and plans for a full market release at the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) conference in April 2026, allowing the Company to showcase LIBERTY with the goal to deepen market adoption.
