Four more US medical centers have chosen the company's ActiveCare + SFT device.

MCS Medical Compression Systems (DBN) Ltd. (TASE:MDCL) today announced that, during August, four more medical centers in the US chose the company's proprietary ActiveCare + SFT non-invasive device for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis. The medical centers are in Indiana, Minnesota, and Missouri.

MCS's share price rose 8.4% by mid-afternoon to NIS 3.56, giving a market cap of NIS 124 million.

MCS said that the four medical centers carry out 4,600 deep vein thrombosis procedures a year, and that the company's product will achieve a 25% penetration rate in the first year.
