Luna Innovations and Intuitive Surgical Extend Relationship

Luna Innovations Incorporated LUNA announced today that it has agreed with Intuitive Surgical, Inc. ISRG, to extend its development efforts under its development and supply agreement with Intuitive towards further integrating Luna's shape sensing technology into Intuitive's products. In June 2007, Luna and Intuitive entered into a multi-year development and supply agreement under which Luna would supply and license to Intuitive its fiber optic based shape sensing system for integration into Intuitive's medical robotics products. Luna has satisfied its development obligations under the existing agreement, which had previously been extended in January 2010 to cover 2010 development work. The new agreement will cover development work in 2011.
