Milestone Scientific Commences Sales of CompuFlo® Epidural Disposables within Island Ambulatory Surgery Center in Brooklyn, New York
November 09 2023 - 8:30AM
Milestone Scientific Inc.
(NYSE:MLSS), a leading developer of computerized
drug delivery instruments that provide painless and precise
injections, today announced that it has commenced sales of
CompuFlo® Epidural disposables into Island Ambulatory Surgery
Center, a multi-specialty ambulatory surgery center based in
Brooklyn, New York with a focus on pain management, orthopedics and
spine care, urology, podiatry and plastic surgery. Island
Ambulatory Surgery Center is affiliated with Mount Sinai Health
System (MSHS), which operates 19 hospitals across New York.
Sales to Island Ambulatory Surgery Center
represent the Company’s first foray into the ambulatory surgery
center market—an addressable market of more than 9,000 centers
across the U.S.
Adoption of the technology by this center
follows a successful evaluation process by its founder and medical
director, Dr. Leon Reyfman, MD, MBA, an interventional pain
medicine physician, who is board-certified by the American Board of
Anesthesiology in both anesthesiology and pain medicine. Dr.
Reyfman currently serves as the Assistant Clinical Professor of
Anesthesiology at SUNY Downstate Medical School. Dr. Reyfman is a
member of the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians as
well as the International Spine Intervention Society.
Dr. Leon Reyfman was one of a team of four
doctors who completed eighteen cases using the CompuFlo Epidural
system at Island Ambulatory Surgery Center, in which they reported
100% success. The evaluation included Epidural Steroid Injection
(ESI) procedures within the lumbar, thoracic and cervical thoracic
junction of the spine.
Dr. Leon Reyfman commented, “Following my
evaluation, I believe the CompuFlo Epidural System has the
potential to transform drug delivery in pain management and
anesthesiology. The instrument helps physicians navigate the
challenging anatomical regions in the thoracic region and cervical
thoracic junction in real time, which is particularly valuable
given the complexity and risks associated with these procedures.
The instrument is easy to use and provides both audible and visual
feedback, including confirmation of epidural placement, to enhance
predictability and safety of the procedure.”
Arjan Haverhals, CEO and president of Milestone
Scientific, stated, “We are proud to announce the adoption of our
technology by Island Ambulatory Surgery Center, following a
successful evaluation period. Moreover, this marks an important
milestone as it represents the first commercial adoption of the
CompuFlo® Epidural System within an ambulatory surgery center.”
Mr. Haverhals continued, “We look forward to
assisting these clinicians in submitting claims to insurance
providers, which should help in ramping up our reimbursement
activities around the CompuFlo® Epidural System. Based on the
favorable response to our technology, we remain confident that the
CompuFlo Epidural system will ultimately become the standard of
care in epidural analgesia.”
