ROSELAND, N.J., May 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Milestone Scientific Inc. (NYSE:MLSS), a leading developer of computerized drug delivery instruments, that provide painless and precise injections, today reported that it has commenced sales of its CompuFlo® Epidural instrument disposables at a leading veterinary and academic institution following a successful research study and evaluation. The veterinary institution has initially begun using the CompuFlo Epidural instrument for maxillary nerve block procedures in horses with plans to expand into epidural procedures.
The CompuFlo Epidural instrument has been evaluated in multiple studies in veterinary medicine. A published study in June 2020, which focused on the maxillary nerve block in horses, concluded that use of the CompuFlo Epidural instrument would not only serve as a valuable teaching tool, but also increase the success rate of less experienced equine practitioners. The study further noted that the CompuFlo/DPS® technology provided beneficial guidance to the operator when inserting the needle to its intended target location, thereby increasing the overall success rate when compared to using solely anatomic surface landmarks for guidance.
Dr. Bernd Driessen, an equine anesthesiologist that participated in earlier clinical studies of the instrument, commented, “I am excited to see commercial uptake of the CompuFlo Epidural instrument in clinical practice, as well as in the classroom to educate the next generation of veterinarians. The CompuFlo Epidural instrument can provide fellow veterinarians and students greater accuracy through real-time verification of needle location when performing a maxillary nerve block.”
Arjan Haverhals, CEO of Milestone Scientific, commented, “This institution’s team continually leads the way in advancements in veterinary medicine, and we are honored to provide them with our proven technology. Milestone is continually evaluating additional channels to commercialize our technology, including new medical indications. Veterinary medicine is just one example of another market that will benefit from our CompluFlo Epidural instrument. We believe the extensive prior studies, spanning epidural, peripheral nerve block, intra-articular, and veterinary use cases reinforce the enhanced safety, improved outcomes, economic benefits and broad market potential of our instrument.”
