BELLUSCURA LTD LAUNCHES SLYDE™ IN EU

Tekcapital plc (AIM: TEK), an international provider of technology and intellectual property services, announces that Belluscura Ltd ("Belluscura") has launched its Slyde product in the European Union.

Slyde is a light and compact sled for moving its occupant safely down stairs or over rough ground in the event of an emergency evacuation.  It provides a safe and efficient way to evacuate non-ambulatory individuals from any multi-storey building using the stairways. Slyde folds up and stores in stacks of up to five units in a storage sleeve.

"We are delighted to make this important step towards becoming a truly international medical device company.  Our first product, Slyde, is a good example of Belluscura's mission to provide premium medical device products at affordable prices, and we expect it to be widely adopted by hospitals, schools, hotels and rescue services.  We intend to use the expertise of local distributors in each region, starting in the European Union."
