| Misonix Exhibits at the Annual New York Podiatric Clinical Conference and Offers "Hands-On" SonicOne(R) O.R. System Trials | FARMINGDALE, N.Y., Jan. 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Misonix, Inc. (NASDAQ: MSON), an international surgical device company that designs, manufactures and markets innovative therapeutic ultrasonic products for spine surgery, skull based surgery, neurosurgery, wound debridement, cosmetic surgery, laparoscopic surgery and other surgical applications, recently attended the 2014 New York State Podiatric Clinical Conference held at the Marriott Marquis in New York City, NY from January 24th -- 26th, 2014.
Misonix exhibited and presented the newest addition to its wound care line of devices, the SonicOne O.R. Ultrasonic Surgical Debridement System. The SonicOne O.R. is an innovative surgical device that allows surgeons to address the challenges chronic wounds present to them, the patient, and the health-care system. SonicOne O.R. establishes a new standard in surgical wound bed preparation, an essential first step in the wound healing process. Use of the SonicOne O.R. system provides controlled tissue removal, decreased healing times, reduced bleeding and a reduction of biofilm.
The conference attracted more than 2,000 surgeons and wound care professionals and represents one of the largest podiatric meetings in the United States. Over the course of the three-day meeting, visitors to the Misonix exhibit had an opportunity to perform hands on trials of the SonicOne O.R. system. Leading wound care expert Wayne J. Caputo, DPM, Director of The Wound Care Center at Clara Maass Medical Center, a Barnabas Health member facility in Belleville, New Jersey, stated, "It's very simple. SonicOne O.R. represents the newest approach to healing wounds and offers a powerful solution to finally address biofilms, which are complex microbial communities of bacteria found in more than half of all chronic wounds and a key contributor to delay healing. SonicOne O.R., given the well appreciated antibacterial properties of ultrasound, is what we are now using in my center to debride all wounds. SonicOne O.R. is a complete tissue management system for both boney tissue and soft tissue and, as such, this is truly a revolutionary technology that every wound care center needs to be looking at right now."
Michael A. McManus, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of Misonix, commented, "We had an extremely busy New York Clinical Conference with approximately 100 attendees visiting our exhibit seeking a product demonstration. The awareness of SonicOne O.R. is clearly increasing, peer-to-peer referrals are growing and hospitals are increasingly asking for evaluations in their operating rooms. When leading surgeons like Dr. Caputo at Barnabas Health's Clara Maass Wound Center make decisions to include SonicOne O.R. in their patient care protocols, this is an incredibly strong endorsement of our technology."
