BiBBInstruments AB ("BiBB" or the "Company"), developer of EndoDrill® - the world's first market-cleared powered biopsy instrument for endoscopy - announces that the Company has received new orders from its US distribution partner, TaeWoong Medical USA, with a total value of approximately SEK 1.75 million (USD 178,420). The Company plans for delivery and invoicing of the orders during the fourth quarter of 2026.
