CAESAREA, Israel - IceCure Medical Ltd. (NASDAQ:ICCM), a company specializing in minimally invasive cryoablation technology for tumor destruction, has been granted a Notice of Allowance by the China National Intellectual Property Administration for its "Cryogenic System Connector". This development completes a series of international patent protections for the company’s innovative cryogenic pump, which is already patented in the U.S., Europe, and Japan. The company, currently valued at $80.33 million, has shown remarkable market performance with a 121.88% return over the past six months, according to InvestingPro data.

The cryogenic pump is a key component in IceCure’s cryoablation systems, designed for a range of clinical uses. Its technology allows for the cryoprobe to be submerged in liquid nitrogen, operating in a closed circuit, and providing controlled temperature during procedures. This advancement is expected to enhance the efficiency of cryoablation treatments by improving cooling rates and reducing the need for liquid nitrogen refills, thereby supporting longer or multiple procedures.

IceCure’s CEO, Eyal Shamir, expressed confidence in the company’s leadership position in the market for liquid nitrogen-based cryoablation, citing over 50 granted patents and a growing portfolio of regulatory approvals. Shamir emphasized IceCure’s commitment to improving healthcare by offering safe and effective alternatives to surgical tumor removal. InvestingPro analysis shows the company maintains a strong financial position with a healthy current ratio of 2.67 and more cash than debt on its balance sheet, supporting its ongoing research and development initiatives.

IceCure Medical’s flagship product, the ProSense® system, is marketed globally, with approvals for various indications in the United States, Europe, and China. The company’s technology aims to provide a safe, effective, and minimally invasive option for the treatment of benign and cancerous tumors, focusing on breast, kidney, bone, and lung cancers. Financial data from InvestingPro reveals impressive revenue growth of 26.02% over the last twelve months, though analysts note the company is not expected to be profitable this year.
