AMG INTERNATIONAL GMBH
amg International GmbH (AMG), a Q3 Medical Limited Holding, a German based developer, manufacturer, and seller of high-end Cardiology and Peripheral Vascular devices in Europe, South America, Middle East, and Asia. AMG was founded in 1997 as a manufacturer and distributor for implantable medical devices with a focus on the development and regulatory approval of coronary and peripheral vascular devices. AMG is currently commercializing its technology in over 30 countries and has recently completed its clinical studies for an advanced coronary stent with a fast absorbing biodegradable polymer that may limit the time required for post implant dual anti-platelet therapy with 5-year follow up.
AMG GI: In 2017 the interventional coronary and peripheral vascular core customers were transferred to QualiMed own branded products and AMG will serve as the channel and brand for the company’s new Non-Vascular product lines including ARCHIMEDES Bioresorbable replacement for the 1.5 Million plastic stents that are used annually. Plastic stents have the distinct disadvantage of requiring a removal procedure and a high complication. In addition, its UNITY-B Bioresorbable Balloon Expandable Biliary technology, (a hybrid platform of magnesium and polymer) is currently undergoing clinical studies and is expected to be launched in the 1st half of 2019.
Numerous other Bioresorbable developments are ongoing from the Bioresorbable covered version of the UNITY-B platform, to a Bioresorbable esophageal, and pseudocyst drainage system. All products built for the AMG GI product line will be Bioresorbable. The distribution channel has already begun to form in Europe, Asia, South America, and the Middle East with approximately 20 distributors contracted or in contract discussions and the first orders shipped to the distribution partners for ARCHIMEDES, its 1st CE approved Bioresorbable replacement for plastic biliary stents.

Q3 MEDICAL USA, LLC
QualiMed USA, LLC (QualiMed USA), a Q3 Medical Group Holding, is a Charlotte North Carolina based wholly owned subsidiary focused on the development, manufacturer, registration, and commercialization of products for the North American market. It is currently in the process of registering an IDE with the USA FDA to gain approval to trial its ARCHIMEDES Bioresorbable replacement for plastic biliary stents. The US market alone represents an annual usage of approximately 500,000 stents. As mentioned previously the ability of ARCHIMEDES to eliminate the cost and complications associated with the traditional removal procedures required for plastic stents at a maximum of 90 days post implant represents a significant opportunity for the Company, patients, doctors, and insurance providers to deliver a better quality of care at a substantially lower cost. With US facility fees alone for removals ranging from $5,000-$10,000 the Company believes there is a significant opportunity to supplant the traditional plastic stents with ARCHIMEDES.
