Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, InspireMD, Inc.

In connection with the Company’s request for acceleration of the effective date of the Registration Statement, the Company acknowledges the following:

· | the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the Company from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and |
· | the Company may not assert staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States. |
Should any member of the staff of the Commission have any questions or comments with respect to this request, please contact our counsel, Haynes and Boone, LLP, attention: Rick A. Werner, Esq. at (212) 659-4974.
