FARMINGDALE, N.Y., July 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — Misonix, Inc. (NASDAQ: MSON), an international ultrasonic surgical device company that designs, manufactures and markets innovative therapeutic ultrasonic instruments for spine surgery, neurosurgery and other surgical specialties, hosted a successful BoneScalpel Hands-On Workshop during the International Meeting on Advanced Spine Technologies (“IMAST”) in Washington, DC last week. More than 30 surgeons attended the workshop and were trained on advanced spine surgical techniques utilizing the BoneScalpel.
This year’s Ultrasonics in Spine Surgery: BoneScalpel Hands-On Workshop was co-moderated by Dr. Amer Samdani, Shriners Hospital for Children, Philadelphia, PA, and Dr. Suken Shah, Nemours/Alfred I. DuPont Hospital for Children, Wilmington, DE.
The faculty presented their clinical experience with the BoneScalpel focusing on the safer, more efficient surgical experience with repeatable reduction in blood loss and an increase in the amount of viable autogenous bone graft harvested.
Dr. Suken Shah commented, “The BoneScalpel has become an important instrument in my surgical practice as it has enabled procedures that are faster with considerably less blood loss as compared to those done with conventional surgical instruments. It’s encouraging to see so many new surgeons coming to events like this workshop looking to learn how to incorporate it into their own practices.”
Dr. Amer Samdani added, “I’ve now been using BoneScalpel for a number of years and find that it’s a fantastic instrument offering a number of benefits. Events like this year’s workshop are important for new surgeons to gain confidence with the technology and understand how it can add value and safety to their procedures.”
Scott Ludecker, Senior Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing for Misonix, added, “More and more surgeons are seeking opportunities to learn how to incorporate BoneScalpel into their own practices around the globe. Events like the workshop at IMAST this year are important forums for these new surgeons to learn from leading experts that have already integrated the BoneScalpel into their own operating rooms and can share their experience.”
“Misonix has hosted BoneScalpel Hands-On Workshops for the past several years at IMAST and other conferences around the world with large registration numbers and this year was another well attended event. The events are particularly successful because of the well-recognized surgeons who are the instructors. Doctors experience not only the use of the BoneScalpel but benefit from the instruction and actual experience of prominent surgeons. Hearing the benefits of the BoneScalpel in cutting bone, in the reduction in blood loss, safety and other benefits from their respected colleagues is impressive to all. Our commitment to medical education and for training surgeons on advanced surgical techniques with our advanced technology is central to our mission at Misonix,” added Michael A. McManus, Jr., President and CEO of Misonix.
