Milestone Scientific Commences Sales of CompuFlo® Epidural / CathCheck™ Verification System Disposables to a Premier Northeast Hospital
ROSELAND, N.J., April 11, 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, following a successful trial and evaluation, it has commenced sales of its CompuFlo® Epidural and CathCheck™ Verification System disposables to a leading northeast medical center. The hospital has been designated as one of the World’s Best Hospitals-USA by Newsweek for the fourth consecutive year.
“We are honored to announce adoption of our CompuFlo Epidural and CathCheck Verification System by another leading medical center,” commented Arjan Haverhals, CEO of Milestone Scientific. “This approval follows a thorough trial and evaluation, which further validates the safety and efficacy of our technology. As a teaching hospital, our tools provide residents, fellows and even seasoned physicians greater accuracy through real-time verification of epidural needle placement, as well as subsequent monitoring of catheter placement. The addition of this hospital continues to expand our nationwide footprint in the labor and delivery market.”
“Ultimately, our goal is to enable health care providers to get better outcomes at a lower cost. We plan to achieve this by supplying a proven technology in anesthesia care through our CompuFlo Epidural instrument and disposables,” Haverhals continues.
The clinical and safety benefits of the CompuFlo Epidural and CathCheck Verification Systems are backed by extensive published clinical data demonstrating significant reductions in epidural punctures, as well as complication rates, and contribute to a significant savings of time on the part of anesthesiologists.
The CompuFlo Epidural System has the potential to significantly reduce costs associated with morbidity, providing a direct economic benefit to healthcare institutions. Similarly, the CathCheck Verification System technology has the potential to transform the monitoring of catheter placement following an epidural procedure by confirming the placement of a catheter within two minutes, versus the 20 to 40 minutes using conventional methods.
