Capping off a highly successful week at the Arab Health Congress in Dubai, Touch Bionics, the Scottish developer of advanced upper-limb bionic technologies, on Thursday received a visit from Her Royal Highness Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein, wife of HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum. Britain's Consul General in Dubai, Guy Warrington, was also present during Thursday's meeting with HRH Princess Haya.

Touch Bionics was in the Middle East last week with Scottish Development International to introduce to the market its growing range of advanced prosthetic products, expand its business through partnerships in the region, and to explore the opening of a clinical centre in the Middle East to fit patients with the world's most advanced bionic fingers and hands. The Arab Health Congress, taking place at the Dubai World Trade Centre until January 28 featured more than 2700 exhibiting companies from 70 countries.

"Our past week in Dubai was very successful for this company, and we feel incredibly honoured to have had our technology demonstrated to HRH Princess Haya, who showed a keen interest in our innovations in the field of bionics and in our business plans in the Middle East. All of our products have attracted keen interest throughout the event, but our LIVINGSKIN high-definition cosmesis, in particular, has been a huge hit with the Arab Health audience. We hope to build on the exciting foundations established during this visit to grow our business in the Middle East and to help ensure that the region benefits from the best in medical technology innovation,"

said Stuart Mead, Touch Bionics' CEO.

About Touch Bionics:
Touch Bionics is a leading developer of advanced upper-limb prosthetics. In late 2009, Touch Bionics brought to market ProDigits, the world's first bionic fingers for partial hand amputees. This revolutionary product followed the 2007 launch of the i-LIMB Hand, a first-to-market prosthetic device with five individually powered digits. The acquisition of LIVINGSKIN in 2008 enabled the company to apply its commercial and technical expertise into new cosmesis solutions for multi-articulating hands and digits. Touch Bionics continues to develop leading-edge technologies for the treatment of patients with upper-limb deficiencies.
