Adds Newly Issued U.S. Patent to Its Intellectual Property Portfolio

SUNNYVALE, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 04/07/15 -- Viveve Medical, Inc. ("Viveve") (OTCQB: VIVMF), a company focused on women's health, today announced the completion of patient enrollment in the VIVEVE I clinical study. The VIveve Treatment of the Vaginal Introitus to EValuate Efficacy study is the first randomized, blinded and sham-controlled trial designed to demonstrate the efficacy of the Viveve® Treatment versus a sham control procedure for the treatment of vaginal introital laxity.

Eight clinical sites in Europe and Canada enrolled over 113 patients, randomized in a 2:1 ratio to either an active treatment group or sham control group. Patients are being followed for six months post-treatment with data being collected at one, three and six month intervals. The study will also include an interim data analysis at the 3 month endpoint of 50% of the patients enrolled.

"The Viveve System has already demonstrated a favorable safety and efficacy profile in two previously completed single-arm clinical studies conducted in the United States and Japan," said Patricia Scheller, Chief Executive Officer of Viveve Medical, Inc. "We look forward to evaluating the three-month interim analysis and reporting the final six-month data later this year. Previous clinical results show that patients experience significant improvement after treatment with the Viveve System. We believe that the demonstrated safety and efficacy profile of this painless, minimally invasive procedure make the Viveve Treatment the best alternative for treating a condition that can profoundly impact a woman's sexual satisfaction and quality of life."

The company also announced today the issuance of US patent 8,961,511, for a Vaginal Remodeling Device and Method. Viveve now has nine issued US patients, twelve issued foreign patents and numerous pending patent applications covering the design, utility and methods associated with its products and procedure.
