Milestone Scientific Inc. (NYSE American: MLSS )(NYSE MKT:MLSS), a leading developer of computerized drug delivery instruments that provide painless and precise injections, today announced that Health Canada has issued a medical device license for the CompuFlo® Epidural Computer Controlled Anesthesia System (“CompuFlo® Epidural”).
The CompuFlo® Epidural provides anesthesiologists and other providers the ability to quantitatively determine and document pressure at the needle tip, in real-time. The Dynamic Pressure Sensing Technology™ (DPS) allows the CompuFlo® Epidural to provide objective visual and audible in-tissue pressure feedback that allows anesthesiologists to identify the epidural space.
Leonard Osser, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Milestone Scientific, commented, “Receiving a medical device license in Canada is another important step in our global roll-out strategy. Over the past year, we have been primarily focused on building relationships with key opinion leaders around the world. At the same time, we are lining up distributors in major markets throughout North America and Europe. Importantly, we expect to see the results of our trials published in leading industry journals later this year, which should help further accelerate our commercial rollout.”
