No. 001-35731
Dear
Messrs. Lindsay and McCann:
We
hereby provide the following response to the comment of the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “Commission”) concerning the above-referenced filing that were provided to the Company by the
Staff in its letter dated July 14, 2020 (the “Comment Letter”). To assist your review, we have retyped the
text of the Staff’s comment below in bold face type and have provided the Company’s response immediately following
the numbered comment.
Preliminary
Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A
Proposal
3: Approval of an Amendment to Our Certificate of Incorporation to Increase the
Number
of Authorized Shares of Common Stock, page 40
1.
Please
disclose whether you have any current plans, agreements, arrangements, or understandings, written or oral, to issue the additional
authorized shares that may become available if this proposal is approved.
Response:
The Company advises the Staff that it does not have any current plans, agreements, arrangements, or understandings, written or
oral, to issue the additional authorized shares that may become available if Proposal 3 is approved. In response to the comment,
the Company will add disclosure in Proposal 3, on page 40 of the proxy statement. We have provided, immediately below, the exact
language that the Company plans to add to the background discussion for Proposal 3. For the Staff’s ease of reference, we
have included below the existing text in Proposal 3 immediately before where the new text will appear, and we have bolded and
underlined just the new text:
Page
40, under the heading “Reasons for the Increase in the Number of Authorized Shares”
“Our
board of directors is recommending the proposed increase in the authorized number of shares of common stock for the primary purpose
of providing the Company with appropriate flexibility to issue shares in the future on a timely basis in the event that the board
of directors determines that it is necessary or appropriate to (i) raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities,
(ii) enter into strategic business transactions, (iii) provide equity incentives to directors, officers and employees pursuant
to equity compensation plans or (iv) further other corporate purposes. The availability of additional shares of common stock is
particularly important in the event that the board of directors needs to undertake any of the foregoing actions on an expedited
basis, as market conditions permit and favorable financing and business opportunities become available, and thus without the potential
delay and expense associated with convening a special stockholders’ meeting. As such, in considering and planning for our
current and future corporate needs, our board of directors believes that the current number of authorized and unreserved shares
of common stock available for issuance is inadequate.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing rationales for approving the increase in the authorized number of shares of our common stock, at the present time,
we have no specific plans, agreements, arrangements, or understandings, written or oral, to issue the additional authorized shares
that may become available if this Proposal 3 is approved.”
In
accordance with the request conveyed by our legal counsel, Jonathan M. Nathan, Esq. of Meitar Law Offices to Mr. Lindsay in their
telephone call on July 14, 2020, we would appreciate very much if we are able to maintain the current timetable for the Company’s
annual meeting of stockholders, which is scheduled to take place on August 31, 2020. Accordingly, if the additional disclosure
that we have suggested above adequately addresses the Staff’s comment, and if the Staff has no further comments, we would
greatly appreciate if the Staff could please confirm to us as soon as practicable in response to this letter that we may proceed
directly to filing our Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, which will contain the additional disclosure set forth above.
If
you have any questions regarding the foregoing or if you prefer to provide the foregoing requested confirmation via telephone
or email, please contact Mr. Nathan at 011-972-52-312-5574 or jonathann@meitar.com, or Mr. David S. Glatt, Esq. (also a
partner at Meitar Law Offices) at 011-972-52-839-0171 or dglatt@meitar.com.

Ladies
and Gentlemen:
On
behalf of InspireMD, Inc. (the “Company” or “InspireMD”), we are writing to respond to the
comments set forth in the comment letter of the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “Commission”), dated September 11, 2019 (the “Comment Letter”), to James Barry, Ph.D.,
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, relating to the above referenced Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the
“Registration Statement”). In connection with this response to Comment Letter, the Company is contemporaneously
filing via EDGAR an amendment to the Registration Statement (“Amendment No.1”), responding to the Staff’s
comments in the Comment Letter and updating the Registration Statement. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this
letter shall have the meanings given to such terms in Amendment No.1. References herein to page numbers are to page numbers in
Amendment No.1.
The
following are the Company’s responses to Comment Letter. The Company’s responses are numbered to correspond to the
Staff’s comments as numbered in Comment Letter. For your convenience, each of the Staff’s comments contained in Comment
Letter have been restated below in their entirety, with the Company’s corresponding response set forth immediately under
such comment.

Fee
Table, page 1

It
appears that it is possible that investors may choose to purchase units or pre-funded units. Please revise your table to reflect
the maximum amount of each class of security that you are offering and might sell in this transaction, including the total
number of common shares underlying the warrants included in the units and the total number of common shares underlying the
warrants in the pre-funded units.
Response:
The
Company has revised the fee table to reflect the maximum aggregate offering price of each class of security that may be offered.
The Company respectfully advises the Staff that because the Company is relying on Rule 457(o) under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, to calculate the registration fee payable, the Company has reflected the maximum aggregate offering price
for each class of security rather than a number of shares being offered.

offered and revised the notes to the fee table to clarify the calculation of the proposed maximum aggregate offering price set
forth in the fee table.

Please
revise your prospectus cover page to describe clearly the total number of securities you are offering and the total number
of securities you intend to sell.
Response:
The
Company has revised the prospectus cover page in accordance with the Staff’s comment.
4.
Your
disclosure on page 50 indicates that the underwriter is obligated to purchase and pay for all of the units and pre-funded
units offered by this prospectus. Given this, please clarify your disclosure, such as here, stating that you are offering
“up to” an unspecified number of units and pre-funded units. Explain in more detail how the structure of this
offering can be characterized as a “firm commitment” given the apparent uncertainty at the time of effectiveness
about the number of each type of security that the underwriter will purchase from you. Explain to us the expected mechanics
of the sale and related prospectus cover page and other impacted disclosure.
Response:
In
a firm commitment public offering, once the registrant is prepared to circulate a preliminary prospectus, the underwriters generally
communicate with investors to gauge their interest in the potential offering. The underwriters rarely know exactly what the investors
will buy until they solicit investor interest and ultimately price the offering. The transaction then becomes a firm commitment
at the time the underwriting agreement is signed, which may not precede effectiveness, at which time the underwriters are best
able to anticipate investor demand for the offering following their discussions with investors. This offering has followed, and
will continue to follow, the same procedure, and will result in the same firm commitment in the underwriting agreement. Specifically,
in the underwriting agreement, the underwriters will commit to purchase (i) a fixed number of units (the “Units”),
with each Unit consisting of a share of common stock and a Series E Warrant to purchase common stock (each, a “Series
E Warrant”), and (ii) a fixed number of pre-funded units (the “Pre-funded Units”), with each Pre-Funded
Unit consisting of a pre-funded warrant to purchase one share of common stock (the “Pre-funded Warrants”) and
a Series E Warrant, and the underwriter will then be obligated to purchase that number of Units and Pre-Funded Units. There will
be no unsold securities under the underwriting agreement other than the underwriter’s option to purchase additional securities.
Also, like a typical public offering, the Company intends to file a final prospectus that will contain an accurate breakdown of
the number of Units and Pre-funded Units to be sold.
As
background, the Company intends to raise a certain amount of proceeds through this offering under Rule 457(o) of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended. The Company desires to raise these proceeds through the sale of its common stock and Series E Warrants.
Due to the potential concern about the regulatory impact of beneficially owning more than 5 percent or more than 10 percent of
the Company’s outstanding common stock, many institutional investors considering a large position in offerings of companies
with a similar market capitalization to that of the Company prefer to have the option to invest in pre-funded warrants to purchase
common stock instead of directly in common stock. Pre-funded warrants are immediately convertible into common stock at a nominal
exercise price, except to the extent that the holder thereof would acquire beneficial ownership of more than a specified percentage
of the common stock, and are offered to the public at the same price as a share of common stock less the exercise price of the
pre-funded warrant. Accordingly, at the suggestion of the underwriter and based on the underwriter’s past experience, the
Company decided to provide investors with the alternative of purchasing Pre-funded Units, which include a Pre-funded Warrant,
in lieu of Units, which include a direct investment in common stock. The Pre-funded Units will be offered to all potential investors,
although the Company believes it is unlikely that any investor who would not beneficially own more than 5% of the outstanding
common stock after the offering would elect to purchase Pre-funded Units.
U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission
September
13, 2019
Page

The
final breakdown between Units and Pre-funded Units will be determined upon the establishment of the final offering price and immediately
prior to the execution of the underwriting agreement and will be included in the final prospectus to be filed by the Company following
the pricing of the offering. The Company has revised the disclosure on the prospectus cover page and page 48 in order to clarify
these mechanics.

1. Please
revise your disclosure to provide more specificity to your intended use of proceeds from
this offering. For example, clarify what product development activities will be conducted,
what these activities will accomplish and what steps will remain to commercialization
of the product. Also clarify the nature of the “sales activities” you intend
to conduct. In addition, we note that the disclosure regarding the purposes to which
you intend to apply the proceeds is almost identical to the purposes disclosed in the
Form S-1 declared effective on June 30, 2016. Please revise to clarify what you accomplished
with the proceeds of the prior offering, particularly in light of your disclosure that
revenues and selling and marketing expenses decreased during the three- months ended
September 30, 2016, and why you require additional proceeds now to be used for the same
purposes.

1. Please tell us why you deleted your disclosure regarding the assumed exercise price of the warrants.
Response:
The disclosure regarding the assumed
exercise price of the warrants has been deleted because the exercise price of the warrants will no longer be fixed at 125% of the

and demand for the offered securities.

Response:
The Company has revised the disclosure
on page 90 of Amendment No.5 to disclose all material relationships between the Company and Dawson James Securities, Inc. without
limitation to the past 180 days. None of Dawson James Securities, Inc. or any of its affiliates or associated persons participated
in the March 2016 offering in a capacity other than as an underwriter. None of the securities held by Dawson James Securities,
Inc. may be adjusted based on the market or market price for the Company’s securities, and the Company has restored the disclosure
from the bottom of page 84 that the terms of the March 2016 placement agent warrants are identical to the March 2016 underwriter
warrants.
4. Please provide us an example demonstrating how the cashless exercise provision in exhibit 4.3 section 2(c) operates, and
explain in your response the purpose and effect of excluding from the definition of “value” the common shares underlying
the preferred shares included in the units.
Response:
The formula set forth in exhibit
4.3 section 2(c) has been revised: (i) to clarify that the common stock underlying the Preferred Stock included in the units is
part of the definition of the “Current Market Value” of a Unit; and (ii) to simplify the calculation.
The following is an example demonstrating
how the cashless exercise provision in exhibit 4.3 section 2(c) currently operates:
For purposes of this example, the Company has assumed
the following:
(a) A Unit price of $35 per Unit to the public,
which would result in a $43.75 per Unit exercise price (“Exercise Price”) for the Placement Agent.
(b) A Warrant exercise price of $0.35 per share.
(c) Each Unit includes one share of Preferred Stock
(convertible into 100 shares of common stock) and warrants to purchase 100 shares.
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
June 24, 2016
Page 3
(d) The Placement Agent makes a cashless exercise
of 100 Units at a time when the closing price of the Company’s common stock is $0.50 per share.
Based on the above assumptions, the cashless exercise
provision would result in the following number of shares of common stock being issued:
Formula:
Shares issuable on cashless exercise = (“Value”
of 100 Units) / “Current Market Price”
“Value” = (“Current Market Value”
per Unit x 100) - (“Exercise Price” x 100)
“Current Market Value” of a Unit = (“Current
Market Price” at time of exercise x 200) - (Warrant exercise price x 100)
Applying the Formula:
“Current Market Value” of a Unit: $65
= (0.50 x 200) - (0.35 x 100)
“Value”: $2,125 =
(65 x 100) - (43.75 x 100)
Shares issuable on cashless exercise: 4,250 = 2,125
/ 0.50
A revised Exhibit 4.3 has been
filed herewith, and below is Section 2(c)(i) of the revised exhibit:
(c) Cashless
Exercise.
In lieu of
the payment of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Units for which this Unit Purchase Option is exercisable (and in
lieu of being entitled to receive Shares and Warrants) in the manner required by Section 2(a), the Holder shall have the right
(but not the obligation) to convert any exercisable but unexercised portion of this Unit Purchase Option into Units consisting
of Shares and Warrants (the “Conversion Right”) as follows:
(A) Upon
exercise of the Conversion Right, the Company shall deliver to the Holder (without payment by the Holder of any of the Exercise
Price in cash) that number of Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Value of the portion of the Unit Purchase
Option being converted by (y) the Current Market Price of a Share.
(B) The
“Value” of the portion of the Unit Purchase Option being converted shall equal the remainder derived by subtracting
(a) (i) the Exercise Price multiplied by (ii) the number of Units underlying the portion of this Unit Purchase Option
being converted from (b) the Current Market Value of a Unit multiplied by the number of Units underlying the portion of the
Unit Purchase Option being converted.
(C) As used
herein, the term “Current Market Value” per Unit at any date means the remainder derived by subtracting (x) the
exercise price of the Warrants multiplied by the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants underlying one Unit from
(y) the Current Market Price of the Shares multiplied by the number of Shares underlying the Preferred Shares and underlying
the Warrants included within one Unit.
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
June 24, 2016
Page 4
(D) The
“Current Market Price” of a Share shall mean (i) if the Shares are listed on a national securities exchange
or quoted the OTC Bulletin Board (or any successor exchange or entity), the closing or last sale price of the Shares in the principal
trading market for the Shares on the last trading day preceding the day in question as reported by the exchange or the OTC Bulletin
Board, as the case may be; (ii) if the Shares are not listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on the OTC Bulletin
Board, but are traded in the residual over-the-counter market, the closing bid price for the Shares on the last trading day preceding
the date in question for which such quotations are reported by the Pink Sheets, LLC or similar publisher of such quotations; and
(iii) if the fair market value of the Shares cannot be determined pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, such price as
the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine, in good faith.
Exhibit 5.1
5. Please file an opinion that reflects the offering as currently disclosed in your prospectus and that addresses all securities
in the fee table, including placement agent’s unit purchase option and the underlying units.
Response:
The Company has filed a new exhibit
5.1 with Amendment No.5 to address the comment above.
6. Please file an opinion that clarifies when the warrants “will be” binding obligations of the registrant.

Re: InspireMD, Inc.
Registration Statement on Form S-1
File No. 333-184066
Ladies and Gentlemen:
At the request of the
staff (the “Staff”) of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”),
we are providing an analysis as to why InspireMD, Inc. (the “Company”) believes that its prior actions, which
may have resulted in a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Section 5”), do not
constitute a material risk to the Company. Specifically, as previously discussed with the Staff, the Company’s decision to
offer investors Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) as part of the Company’s
amended registration statement filed on March 22, 2013, followed certain communications between the Company, its agents and certain
investors. Since these communications occurred prior to the filing of the Company’s amended registration statement on Form
S-1 on March 22, 2013 that first registered the Preferred Stock, these communications may have constituted an offer to sell Preferred
Stock in violation of Section 5. The Company has now decided not to sell any shares of Preferred Stock under the registration statement
(or privately) and will amend the registration statement in order to remove all mention of the Preferred Stock so that such registration
statement only registers the offering and sale of the Company’s common stock. Since the Company is no longer offering shares
of Preferred Stock to any investors, the Company does not believe that any claims for violations of Section 5 would constitute
a material risk to the Company. Rather, the risk associated with any claims for violations of Section 5 would only be relevant
to the extent any shares of Preferred Stock were sold by the Company. Since no shares of Preferred Stock will be sold in this offering
and the Company does not believe that any prior offering of Preferred Stock should be integrated with its common stock offering,
the Company does not believe that anyone will be in a position to make a claim against the Company for damages due to a violation
of Section 5. Therefore, the Company does not believe that there is any need to include any risk factor disclosure relating to
claims that the Company violated Section 5 in the Company’s planned amended registration statement.
Please direct any questions
or comments concerning this response to the undersigned at (212) 659-4974.

Re: InspireMD, Inc.
Amendment No. 5 to Registration Statement on Form S-1
Amended March 22, 2013
File No. 333-184066
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have reviewed with
InspireMD, Inc. (the “Company”) the letter dated March 25, 2013 (the “Comment Letter”) from
the staff (the “Commission Staff”) of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “Commission”) regarding Amendment No. 5. (“Amendment No. 5”)
to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 of the Company (File No. 333-184066), initially filed with the Commission on September
24, 2012 (the “Registration Statement”). The following are the Company’s responses to the Comment Letter.
The Company’s responses are numbered to correspond to the Commission Staff’s comments as numbered in the Comment Letter.
For your convenience, each of the Commission Staff’s comments contained in the Comment Letter have been restated below in
their entirety, with the Company’s corresponding response set forth immediately under such comment.
Prospectus Cover Page
1. We note that you intend to offer an aggregate of $30 million of securities in this offering, with
each investor having the option to choose whether to purchase common stock, preferred stock or a combination of common stock and
preferred stock. Please provide us with your analysis as to how your proposed offering of common and/or preferred stock to investors
is consistent with an underwritten firm commitment offering.
Response:
In a firm commitment public
offering, once the registrant is prepared to circulate a preliminary prospectus, the underwriters generally communicate with investors
to gauge their interest in the potential offering. The underwriters rarely know exactly what the investors will buy until they
solicit investor interest and ultimately price the deal. The firm commitment is then made at the time the underwriting agreement
is signed, at which time the underwriters are best able to anticipate investor demand for the offering following their discussions
with investors. This offering has followed, and will continue to follow, the same procedure, and will result in the same firm commitment
in the underwriting agreement. Specifically, in the underwriting agreement, the underwriters will commit to purchase a fixed number
of shares of common stock and a fixed number of shares of preferred stock, and will then be obligated to purchase that number of
shares. There will be no unsold shares. Also, like a typical public offering, the Company anticipates that its final prospectus
will contain a more accurate breakdown of the number of shares of common stock and preferred stock to be sold (wherein, neither
the underwriters nor the Company anticipate that any shares will remain unsold).

As background, the Company
intends to raise a certain amount of proceeds through this offering. The Company desires to raise these proceeds through the sale
of its common stock. As described in more detail in answer to Question 2 below, during the roadshow, a potential investor expressed
concern about the regulatory impact of beneficially owning 10 percent or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock after
the offering. To address this concern, which is a potential concern of many large institutional investors when considering a large
position in offerings of a size similar to this offering, at the suggestion of the underwriters and based on the underwriters’
past experience, the Company decided to provide investors an alternative – a class of preferred stock whose only material rights
are (i) the right to convert to common stock and (ii) otherwise the same rights of the common stock (e.g., the right to vote with
the common stock on an as-converted basis, the right to receive dividends on an as-converted basis), but which also contains a
“blocker” that will divest the holder of beneficial ownership of 10 percent or more of the common stock (by prohibiting
conversion and voting to the extent that the holder would acquire beneficial ownership of more than 9.98% of the common stock).
The preferred stock will be offered to all potential investors, although the Company believes it is unlikely that any investor
who would not beneficially own 10 percent or more of the outstanding common stock after the offering will elect to purchase preferred
stock.
In determining what disclosure
to make in Amendment No. 5, the Company was mindful to include sufficient disclosure in its offering documents before soliciting
investor interest under the revised offering structure. Therefore, the Company attempted to lay out, as clearly as possible, the
entire structure of the offering – that (a) an anticipated $30 million will be offered (excluding the overallotment option),
(b) investors are being offered both common stock and preferred stock, and (c) in order to keep the aggregate offering to a set
amount, for each share of preferred stock purchased in the offering, the Company will reduce the number of shares of common stock
being sold by 1,000. The Company did not believe it would have been appropriate to approach investors to gauge their interest in
the preferred stock and come up with an estimate of the number of shares of preferred stock that should be offered, and therefore,
in an abundance of caution, included common stock and preferred stock up to the full amount of the anticipated offering in Amendment
No. 5. Once the Commission Staff has reviewed the Company’s disclosure and the underwriters have recirculated a revised prospectus,
they will communicate with investors about the revised offering structure, determine which investors are interested in the preferred
stock, and more accurately estimate of the number of shares of common stock and preferred stock to be sold.
It should also be noted
that the Company believes an investment decision to the purchase the preferred stock is the same as an investment decision to purchase
the common stock. As described above, the preferred stock will carry the exact same rights as the common stock and will be immediately
convertible into common stock, except to the extent that the holder thereof would acquire beneficial ownership of more than 9.98%
of the common stock.

2. Generally it is inconsistent with Section 5 of the Securities Act to offer securities before they
are registered for sale. Please provide us a detailed timeline of your communications with investors regarding the preferred stock
and your analysis of how those communications were consistent with Section 5.
Response:
For the reasons set forth
below, the Company believes that this offering has been conducted in a manner that is consistent with Section 5 of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (“Section 5”). In addition, Cowen and Company, LLC (“Cowen”), the
lead underwriter in this offering, has confirmed to the Company that it believes this offering has been conducted in a manner
that is consistent with Section 5 and its regular practices in connection with a public offering.
By way of background,
this offering commenced in the fall of 2012. Once the Company’s preliminary prospectus was prepared in November 2012, the
underwriters and the Company conducted a traditional public offering roadshow. During the roadshow, the underwriters engaged in
customary communications with investors designed to understand investor interest in the offering, including the size and price
of the offering. Based on concerns expressed by investors at the time, the Company and Cowen decided to postpone the offering.
In February of 2013,
the Company and Cowen decided to re-launch this offering and, accordingly, filed an amended preliminary prospectus on March
5, 2013. Subsequent to this filing, the underwriters and the Company commenced a new roadshow. Again, during this roadshow,
the underwriters engaged in customary communications with investors designed to understand investor interest in the offering,
including the size and price of the offering. In particular, on March 13, 2013, Cowen hosted an official roadshow conference
call with one investor who, on March 14, 2013, indicated to Cowen that it would like to pursue a potential investment in the
Company. Between March 15, 2013 and March 17, 2013, Cowen, the Company and this investor engaged in various due diligence
communications regarding the Company’s corporate strategy, data results and certain other matters. Then, on March 18,
2013, this investor informed Cowen that it was concerned about its participation in the offering since it desired to invest
an amount of money that would cause such investor to beneficially own more than 10 percent of the Company’s outstanding
common stock. To address this concern, which is a potential concern of many large institutional investors when considering a
large position in offerings of a size similar to this offering, the investor and Cowen discussed an offering structure which
Cowen had used in past deals that would include a class of “toothless” preferred stock, which preferred stock
would not contain any substantive features that were different from the Company’s common stock other than a mechanism
that would prevent a holder of such preferred stock from converting the preferred stock into common stock or voting such
preferred stock to the extent it would cause such holder to beneficially own more than 9.98% of the Company’s common
stock. On March 19, 2013, at the suggestion of the underwriters and based on the underwriters’ past experience, along
with the fact that the Company believed that this preferred stock was in essence the same as common stock, the Company
decided to revise the offering in order to allow all investors to choose between investing in either common stock or
preferred stock.
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
March 26, 2013
Page 4
As Cowen and the Company
and their respective counsel began to discuss the preferred stock alternative on March 19, 2013, Cowen explained the terms of the
proposed preferred stock and cited a sample deal, which included an example certificate of designation for Company and underwriters’
counsel’s consideration. Also, on March 19, 2013, counsel for the investor was provided with a model preferred stock designation
based on the example provided by Cowen for informational purposes only.
At this time, the Company
was mindful that it must include sufficient disclosure in its offering documents before soliciting investor interest under the
revised offering structure. As such, the Company’s and Cowen’s priority became providing the Commission with a revised
disclosure document so that the underwriters could proceed with discussions with potential investors regarding the new structure
of the offering. The Company and its counsel then began to revise the Registration Statement to include the preferred stock.
On the evening of March
21, 2013, the investor’s counsel sent comments to the draft certificate of designation to Company counsel, which Company
counsel forwarded directly to Cowen. Company counsel then advised investor’s counsel that due to the nature of the offering,
neither the Company nor its counsel was in a position to negotiate a certificate of designation and directed that any comments
relating to the preferred stock be sent to Cowen. Company counsel did not agree to consider or negotiate the terms of the preferred
stock, or indicate that the Company would, in fact, offer the preferred stock. Although the Company did consider some of the investor’s
suggested refinements to the basic terms of the preferred stock, Cowen informed the potential investor that it could not negotiate
additional terms and that, if offered, the rights and preferences of the preferred stock would be the same as those of the common
stock.
The Company filed Amendment
No. 5 with the Commission on March 22, 2013, which contained a general description of the preferred stock, but omitted a form of
certificate of designation, which was still under consideration and had not yet been approved by the Company’s board of directors.
The underwriters and the
Company have not discussed the details of the preferred stock with any investors other than the inquiring investor, other than
to advise such investors that a potential lead investor had suggested including preferred stock with a 9.98% blocker as part of
the offering and the reasons for it. The underwriters, however, did not solicit interest from other investors in such an alternative.
Moreover, neither the Company nor the underwriters believe that they prematurely offered any shares of preferred stock to anyone
in violation of Section 5, as the terms of the preferred stock were not finalized prior to the filing of Amendment No. 5 in a manner
that was acceptable to either the Company or any investor. To that end, the Company has not, and will not, make any offer of the
preferred stock until it can circulate a preliminary prospectus that describes the preferred stock and files a copy of a certificate
of designation with both the Commission and the State of Delaware.
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission

The Company and Cowen
believe that the nature of discussions with investors to date has been consistent with Section 5 and with customary practice in
connection with a public offering. It is not only typical, but necessary, for issuers and underwriters to be responsive to investor
concerns expressed during a roadshow. If no such discussions and no changes to an offering in response to such discussions were
permitted, it would be very difficult for any issuer, especially a small issuer like the Company, to close a public offering. Although
the addition of the preferred stock to the offering is a change to the offering that resulted from an indication of interest during
the roadshow, neither the Company nor Cowen have solicited any feedback on the preferred stock, other than as described above,
or made any offer of the preferred stock, and they will not do so until such an offer can be made in a manner that is consistent
with Section 5.

Please refer to our prior comment 12. We note your revised disclosure that explains that deferred revenue decreased by approximately 80% and this was offset by an increase in gross revenues of 93%, however, your discussi on of the changes in deferred revenue to various distributors and the gross revenue to various di stributors does not provide investors with the underlying reasons for the changes in revenues between periods.

Please refer to Question 233.02 of the Compliance and Disclo sure Interpretations on Securities Act Rules, which can be found at http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/guida nce/securitiesactrule s-interps.htm and describe to us and revise this note to clar ify the nature and extent of your reliance on legal counsel in determining whether a liabil ity was required and the amount of each of the provisions you recorded. In particular, please differentiate be tween those instances where you relied exclusively on the opinion of legal counsel to provide you the amount of the required liability versus the instances where the opinion of legal counsel was one of other factors considered by mana gement in reaching its conclusion.

Please provide objective support fo r your statement in the final paragraph of this section that cobalt-chromium stents are “generally known in the i ndustry to provide better deliverability and possibly even a reduc tion in major adverse cardiac events.” 3. We note that this section fo cuses extensively on the streng ths of your product. Please revise the Summary and Business sections to add balancing disclo sure addressing any drawbacks or competitive disadvantages facing your products. Ofir Paz InspireMD, Inc.

Results of Operations, page 20 Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2010, page 20 12. We note that your revenues have decreased by approximately 20% and noted from your disclosure that the decrease is primarily related to the rec ognition of previously recorded deferred revenues in the fi rst quarter of 2010 for which there was no comparable revenues in 2011, which appears to be more of a timing issue rather than an explanation of the underlying reason for the d ecrease in sales. In light of the significant decrease in revenues your MD&A disclosure does not appear to provid e investors with a thorough analysis that provides reader s a view of the company through the eyes of management. When individual line items, disclosed in your statements of operations, significantly fluctuate in comparison to the comparable prior period, please quan tify, and disclose the nature of each item that caused the significan t change. For example, please quantify each material factor, i.e. such as price changes and / or volume changes by type of product, disclose separately the effect on operations attributable to each factor causing the aggregate change from year to year and disclo se the nature of or reason for each factor causing the aggregate change. The analysis s hould reveal underlyi ng material causes of the factors described and any future impact on operating results. Please incorporate the above comment to all of the disclosures in th e analysis of your results of operations in MD&A, including operating expenses.

In this regard, we also noted that desp ite the decrease in sales your gross margin percentage increased more than 10 percenta ge points, from 36.2% to 46.7%.

Please quantify the increase in aver age selling prices and the number of units purchased as part of your disclosure and explain how the increased purchasing volumes you refer to relate to the overall decrease in sales during the period. Ofir Paz InspireMD, Inc. July 13, 2011 Page 4 14. Where changes in financial statement line items are the result of several factors, each significant factor should be separately quantified and discussed. For example, you say that the increase in general and administrative expense was primarily due to an increase in investor related activities and provisi ons for pending litigation. However, you do not quantify the impact of each of th ese factors. Please revise yo ur disclosure to address our concerns. Business, page 24 15. Regarding the market data that you disc lose in this sec tion, please tell us: how you confirmed that the data used in th e registration statement reflects the most recent available information; whether all of the data is publicly available; whether you paid for the comp ilation of any of the data; whether any of the data was prepared for your use in the registration statement; and whether the authors of the data consented to your use of such data in the registration statement.

Please revise to further explain how your products differ from, and improve upon, existing products in the marketplace. Fo r example, your references to MGuard Coronary’s “enhanced clinical profile” and “enhanced bio-absorbability” and MGuard Carotid’s “superior embolic protection characteristics” are overly vague. Revise accordingly. Ofir Paz InspireMD, Inc. July 13, 2011 Page 5 Comparison of Clini cal Trials, page 31 19. We note the difference between the results of your 2005 and 2006 studies and the results of the trials described in this section.

3. We note your disclosure that if the board of directors votes to extend the offering for an
additional 90 days, you will notify anyone who ha s subscribed to the offering prior to the
expiration that their money will be promptly refunded unless they provide an affirmative
statement that they wish to s ubscribe to the extended offer. Please revise your filing to
clarify, if true, that you will re turn such funds to the subscriber unless you receive such
affirmative statement prior to the date upon which the original offering would terminate.
4. In addition, we note your disclosure on your prospectus cover page that there is no
assurance that you will be able to return the funds in the event that the offering is not fully subscribed. Please revise your disclosure to clarify any circumstance in which you may not
be able to return such funds.
Risk Factors, page 4
5. Please ensure that your risk factor disclosure does not attempt to qualify or mitigate the identified risks. For example, in your risk factor captioned “There is a Risk That Our
Property Does Not Contain Any . . .,” please re move the disclosure regarding the geological
report, as such disclosure may be interprete d to suggest that ther e are reserves on your
property.
6. We note your disclosure that after the completion of the offering, Lynn Briggs will own 55.5% of the outstanding shares. Please add related risk fa ctor disclosure.
Risks Associated With Our Company, page 4
7. Please include a risk factor addressing the risks posed by the fact that your sole officer and
director is located outside of the United States of America. For example, disclose that as a
result, it might be difficult for investors to e ffect service of process or enforce within the
United States any judgments obtained against he r, including judgments predicated upon the
civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United St ates or any state thereof.
If we discover commercial reserves or prec ious metals on our mine ral property…, page 7
8. You disclose in this risk factor the risk that you may not be ab le to successfully advance the
mineral claims into commercial production if you do not obtain additional funding, and the
risk that in the event you raise funds through the sale of equity capital, such sale will result
in dilution to existing shareholders. Because such dilution appears to present a separate
risk, please revise your filing to present such risk under a separate risk factor heading.

Saguaro Resources, Inc.
October 23, 2009 Page 3 Use of Proceeds, page 9
9. Please provide consistent disclosure th roughout your filing regarding your planned
expenditures over the next twelve months. For ex ample, you state at page 9 that you plan to
complete Phase 1 of the proposed explorati on program and incur certain professional and

your plan is to complete both phases of the exploration program duri ng that twelve month
time period. In addition, you state at page 9 that you plan to incur $9,250 in legal and
accounting fees after the completi on of the offering. However, at page 29 you state that you
anticipate spending $7,000 on profe ssional fees, including fees in curred in connection with
the filing of the registration statem ent. Revise for consistency.

in its entirety” by reference to your ar ticles of incorporation and bylaws.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel, page 12
13. You state that Abby L. Ertz is representing you in connection with this offering. However,

appear in your prospectus.
Property History, page 19

activities conducted since the 1860’s. Pleas e remove references to nearby mineral
properties and prior exploration ac tivities that have been undertaken in the general area of
your property, which may lead investors to infer that your property has commercial
mineralization because of its proximity to th ese areas. Focus the disclosure on your Sky
properties. This comment also applies to the disclosures on page 22 under the caption
“Deposit Type” and on page 24 under the captio n “Adjacent Properties.” Finally, confirm,
if true, that your mineral claims are not in the Tonopah District.
Recommendations, page 25

20. You state at page 35 that your principal shar eholder does not have any plans to sell her

the offering is complete.
Available Information, page 36
21. We note your statement at page 36 that upon completion of the registration, you will file all requisite reports, including proxy statements. However, it does not appear that your

proxy rules.
22. Please update the address of the U.S. Securi ties and Exchange Commission. Our current

Exhibit 5.1
23. Please obtain and file a revised legal opinion th at opines on the correct number of shares to
be issued in this offering a nd the correct price at which thos e shares will be sold. We note
that your current legal opini on covers 1,000,000 shares at $0.02 pe r share. The prospectus,
however, registers the offer a nd sale of 2,000,000 shares at $0.01 per share. This comment
also applies to your descripti on of the terms of the offering that are set forth in the
subscription agreement filed as Exhibit 99.2.
24. We note that the legal opinion states that counsel has not reviewed any portion of the
registration statement. Please obtain an e xplanation from counsel regarding how counsel
can therefore conclude that the shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-
assessable upon “the sale thereof . . . in accordance with the terms of the Registration
Statement.”
