Immersion Medical Introduces Educational Hysteroscopic Myomectomy CD.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Educational material developed in partnership with leading clinical experts and based on guidelines from leading gynecological organizations

Immersion Corporation (NASDAQ:IMMR), a leading developer and licensor of touch feedback technology, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Immersion Medical, Inc., has introduced the first product of its Educational Suite on compact disk -- Hysteroscopic Myomectomy CD. Developed in partnership with leading clinical experts and based on guidelines from regulatory agencies and leading gynecological organizations, the CD contains the essential material needed to understand minimally invasive hysteroscopic procedures that provide alternatives to open surgeries such as hysterectomy.

The CD was created for residency fellowship programs, practicing OB/GYN physicians, and medical device manufacturers. Through text, interactive graphics, animation, and video instruction by leading gynecologists, the material includes the history of hysteroscopy, definitions, indications, contraindications, complications, anatomy, patient management, electrosurgery and myomectomy procedures, and clinical tips.

Dr. Damian P. Alagia, program director of Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery at the Virginia Hospital Center was one of the contributing experts for the CD. "The interactive graphics are among the best I've ever seen," he said. "OB/GYN residents, and even practicing physicians, will find Immersion Medical's Hysteroscopic Myomectomy CD a valuable and enjoyable learning experience."

"In developing this CD, we looked to leaders in the field, including the American College of Gynecologists and the American Association of Gynecological Laparoscopists. Users can feel confident in relying on it as a resource," said Richard Vogel, senior vice president and general manager, Immersion Medical. "Our customers can look forward to additional educational materials of this caliber."

The CD will be available at the AAGL show for a special promotional price of $295, and volume discounts are available. After the show, it can be purchased online at Immersion Medical's Web site (www.ImmersionMedical.com).
