Medical Ltd. (NASDAQ: ELOS), announced that it has signed an OEM agreement
with a European company to produce and distribute a dental laser using

worldwide.

opportunity to incorporate Syneron's dental laser technology according to
the request of a respected European dental laser device manufacturer who
wished to provide our unique technology to their installed base. We
believe that having our technology utilized and promoted by their dental
customers will raise its visibility internationally."
"This OEM agreement," Mr. Cohen continued, "demonstrates Syneron Dental's
commitment to providing high-performance and easy-to-operate tools for the
laser dentistry arena. It also represents the first of such transactions,
as Syneron Dental continues to explore other options to advance our dental
laser technology in global markets."
