FARMINGDALE, N.Y., (June 3, 2019) – Misonix, Inc. (Nasdaq: MSON) (“Misonix” or the “Company”), a provider of minimally invasive therapeutic ultrasonic medical devices that enhance clinical outcomes, today announced that it received 510(k) clearance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Nexus, its revolutionary ultrasonic surgical platform.
