ROSELAND, N.J., March 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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 the University Pain and Spine Center, which operates 7 offices across New Jersey and New York. Adoption of the technology follows a successful evaluation by Dr. Didier Demesmin, MD, MBA. Dr. Demesmin is an interventional pain medicine physician who is board-certified in both anesthesiology and pain medicine. He is also the medical director and founder of the University Pain and Spine Center.

Dr. Didier Demesmin, MD, stated, “Having performed thousands of epidural procedures in both the lumbar and thoracic regions of the spine, I believe that Milestone Scientific’s CompuFlo Epidural Instrument represents a technological leap forward in the practice of pain medicine. The ability of the instrument to objectively measure tissue density, as well as provide both visual and audible confirmation of needle placement, can enhance both the speed and safety of the procedure, thereby providing a better experience for the provider and patient.”

Arjan Haverhals, CEO and president of Milestone Scientific, stated, “We are delighted by the recent adoption of our technology by the University Pain and Spine Center. Moreover, we are honored to have the support of Dr. Demesmin following a successful evaluation. Dr. Demesmin is also affiliated with some of the most well-respected hospitals in Central New Jersey, such as Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, JFK Medical Center, Somerset Medical Center, and Saint Peter’s University Hospital, where he is the director of pain medicine. We believe that the efforts we are taking to seed the market with our technology among leading pain specialists will ultimately translate into widespread adoption, as we execute on our goal of establishing the CompuFlo Epidural System as standard of care in epidural analgesia. The recent FDA clearance of our instrument for use in the thoracic region of the spine is also having a meaningful impact on adoption given the added complexity and risks associated with these procedures.”
