Milestone Scientific Signs Distribution Agreement with Paragon Care Limited

Expands availability of the CompuFlo^®Epidural System to anesthesiologists in Australia

LIVINGSTON, NJ / ACCESSWIRE / August 5, 2019 / Milestone Scientific Inc. (NYSE American:MLSS) today signed an exclusive distribution agreement for the CompuFlo^®Epidural System with Paragon Care Limited, a leading provider of medical equipment, devices and consumables in Australia.

Epidural anesthesia is used in one third of the approximately 300,000 births in Australia each year. Reduction in complications, analgesia failures and associated cost is essential to increasing the popularity of epidurals in childbirth.

The CompuFlo Epidural System offers an alternative to the conventional syringe that relies on subjective perception to identify the epidural space. CompuFlo’s real-time Dynamic Pressure Sensing technology^® is the first to measure-at the tip of a needle- pressure changes that are imperceptible by touch. This intelligence allows anesthesiologists to objectively and reliably identify the epidural space on the first attempt for improved anesthesia outcomes.

John Christiansen, General Manager of Capital & Consumables, Paragon Care, stated, “We seek disruptive technologies that improve both patient experience and outcomes. Our analysis found CompuFlo’s objective, quantifiable and real-time pressure detection provides a measure of safety not currently available in epidural anesthesia. We are confident that medical professionals will quickly recognize how knowing the precise location of a needle during an epidural procedure can reduce expensive complications and improve pain relief in labor and delivery.”

Sharon Smith, Executive Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing of Milestone Scientific, commented, “Paragon Care is an excellent partner with deep reach into Australian hospitals and medical schools. Our shared vision of applying advanced technology solutions for better patient experiences and outcomes will be an asset as we collaborate to build a new standard of care with of the CompuFlo Epidural System.”
