“The 2009 first quarter was the first full sales period to include our surprarenal extensions and Powerlink XL® products, which open new market opportunities for Endologix. Last month, we initiated the full domestic launch of our novel IntuiTrak™ Delivery System that features improved delivery and deployment of our Powerlink® System,” he added. “We are currently conducting a limited release with the IntuiTrak Express Delivery System for the Powerlink XL, which is slated for full domestic commercialization in the third quarter.”

About Endologix
Endologix, Inc. develops and manufactures minimally invasive treatments for aortic disorders. The Company’s flagship product is the Powerlink® System, which is an endovascular stent graft for the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). AAA is a weakening of the wall of the aorta, the largest artery in the body, resulting in a balloon-like enlargement. Once AAA develops, it continues to enlarge and, if left untreated, becomes increasingly susceptible to rupture. The overall patient mortality rate for ruptured AAA is approximately 75%, making it a leading cause of death in the U.S. Additional information can be found on Endologix’s Web site atwww.endologix.com.
