On March 25, 2021 Shelden Martin, MD performed the first successful total 
shoulder arthroplasty in Scottsdale, AZ using the Smart SPACE 3D Virtual 
Planner and the Shoulder Cubit Guidance digital platform. Upon completion of 
the procedure Dr. Martin stated that, "I am very pleased that our first 
shoulder arthroplasty utilizing Smart SPACE Cubit Guidance went extremely well. 
I was impressed with the seamless and efficient integration of the 
instrumentation into my normal procedural workflow, resulting in minimal 
deviations from normal technique and no additional procedural time. Most 
importantly, the final component positioning precisely matched our 
patient-specific pre-operative surgical plan. I am very excited about the 
future promise of this unique technology."

Smart SPACE is LimaCorporate's digital platform and features novel technology 
and a rich pipeline of landscape-changing applications. Smart SPACE is a new 
environment designed to further enable the surgeon and enhance the 
predictability of surgical outcomes providing peace-of-mind to the physician. 
In particular, the Shoulder Cubit Guidance is designed to deliver accurate 
anatomy and instrument tracking without the challenges and disruptions of 
optical surgical navigation. The Shoulder Cubit Guidance is the perfect 
complement to the Smart SPACE 3D Virtual Planner, which is powered by advanced 
AI algorithms developed by TechMah Medical, LLC. The Smart SPACE 3D Virtual 
Planner and Shoulder Cubit Guidance are innovative and fundamental cornerstones 
of the Smart SPACE ecosystem.

This pioneering digital platform is intended to allow surgeons to develop a 
complete pre-operative plan, through the Smart SPACE 3D Virtual Planner and 
execute the plan precisely using a combination of patient customized 3D 
Positioners and the Cubit Guidance System with its proprietary sensor 
technology. Surgeons will receive real time feedback regarding instrument and 
implant positioning, all while maintaining their desired OR and patient set up. 
The Smart SPACE Shoulder system is currently in Controlled Release within the 
United States and Europe and is scheduled for full commercial release in Q4 
2021.

Luigi Ferrari, LimaCorporate CEO, stated: "The successful completion of the 
first Shoulder Cubit guided surgery is a significant milestone in Digital 
Transformation at LimaCorporate and signals the completion of the first phase 
of the Smart SPACE roadmap. I'm excited about the positive impact that this 
groundbreaking technology will have in the daily lives of our surgeons and 
their patients."
