FOUR CLINICAL ABSTRACTS DEMONSTRATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SONICONE® O.R. IN WOUND TREATMENT

FARMINGDALE, N.Y., April 1, 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, today announced four clinical abstract presentations were made at the 2016 Diabetic Limb Salvage Conference in Washington, D.C. The conference is taking place from March 31 through April 2, 2016. The new data demonstrated the value in using ultrasonic technology in debriding wounds.

A second study demonstrated new evidence in the effectiveness of ultrasound in reducing bacterial load in infected wounds. A 10⁵ reduction in bacterial count was measured immediately post treatment with Misonix’s SonicOne O.R. “Bacterial infection is one of the leading causes for chronic wounds’ failure to heal,” said Dr. Michael Baruch, Chief Section of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, St. Joseph Hospital and Medical Center in New Jersey. “Data shows the SonicOne O.R. reduces the bacterial load allowing for the patient’s wound to correctly heal.”

“As the clinical evidence continues to build, the opportunity exists to establish SonicOne O.R. as the gold standard for wound debridement”, stated Scott Ludecker, Senior Vice President of Global Sales & Marketing for Misonix. “The investment in our wound platform technologies are validated by this clinical evidence. We believe that strong clinical evidence such as that presented at the DLS Conference this year, will further enhance our SonicOne O.R. value proposition to our clinician customers as well as to hospital administrators.”
