Baird Medical Investment Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ: BDMD) ("Baird Medical" or the "Company"), a market leader in minimally invasive Microwave Ablation (MWA) technology, today announced the successful completion of the first procedures using its MWA technology in Vietnam and Argentina.

In Vietnam, the first clinical case using the Company's MWA technology was completed at Lac Viet Friendship Hospital on June 18. The procedure was performed by Dr. Dinh Xuan Ha, Deputy Head of Diagnostic Imaging and physician in charge of the Interventional Radiology Unit, to treat a benign thyroid nodule. Dr. Dinh Xuan Ha is an experienced specialist in diagnostic imaging, ultrasound, and image-guided minimally invasive procedures.

In Argentina, Dr. Eduardo Houghton, Head of General Surgery at Hospital General de Agudos Bernardino Rivadavia in Buenos Aires, Argentina, used the Company's MWA technology to perform a successful liver ablation procedure on June 15th. Dr. Houghton brings extensive clinical and academic experience in general surgery, minimally invasive and percutaneous surgery, image-guided procedures, and hepatobiliary-pancreatic surgery.

"The successful introduction of our microwave ablation technology in both Vietnam and Argentina reflect Baird Medical's continued focus on expanding access to minimally invasive treatment options worldwide," said Haimei Wu, Chairwoman & CEO of Baird Medical. "These landmark procedures represent an important step forward in our global expansion strategy. We look forward to continued collaboration with clinical partners to bring our technology to more patients who may benefit from less invasive alternatives to traditional surgery."

"Our goal is to offer the most appropriate treatment option for each patient based on their individual condition," said Dr. Dinh Xuan Ha.  "Microwave ablation allows for highly targeted treatment through a minimally invasive approach with little to no visible scarring, as well as relatively short procedure and recovery time. We are encouraged with the outcome of this first case and look forward to incorporating microwave ablation into our practice moving forward."

Microwave ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that uses thermal energy to treat targeted tissue through a small needle-like applicator. The procedure is typically performed under ultrasound guidance and may offer appropriately selected patients a less invasive treatment option to conventional surgery.

Baird Medical's microwave ablation technology has been used in multiple countries and is designed to provide physicians with precise, minimally invasive treatment capabilities for selected soft tissue applications.
