Marketwired Canada


Titan Medical Inc. ("Titan" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:TMD)(OTCQX:TITXF)
announced today its results for the three months ended March 31, 2014.


The unaudited condensed interim financial statements and Management's Discussion
and Analysis for the period may be viewed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.


John Hargrove, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Titan Medical Inc.,
commented, "The first quarter of 2014 was very productive and exciting. On
February 19 we closed the largest raise to date in Titan's history at $11.59
million, (Cdn. $12.8 million). Building on the momentum created, we closed a
subsequent raise at $23.23 million, (Cdn. $25.6 million) on April 23. Titan has
now substantially eliminated the financing risk through to commercialization. In
addition to our financial success, we have made significant technical progress
as evidenced in our most recent video, posted on our website, which illustrates
the ability of the SPORT(TM) Surgical System to tackle complex tasks. Commencing
with the results for the three months ended March 31, 2014, Titan adopted the
U.S. dollar as both its functional and presentation currency. This change
reflects the continuing increase in the Company's costs being incurred in U.S.
dollars, a trend which is expected to continue in the foreseeable future".
