CORRECTION - Results of New Clinical Study Show Epidural Space Correctly Identified in 100% of Labor & Delivery Patients Using Milestone Scientific's CompuFlo(TM) Epidural Instrument


LIVINGSTON, NJ--(Marketwired - November 15, 2017) - The company issued the following correction to reflect differences in translation and location.

Milestone Scientific Inc. (NYSE MKT: MLSS), a leading developer of computerized drug delivery instruments that provide painless and precise injections, today announced that Dr. Camila Gonzalez of Department of Anesthesiology Davila Clinic, Los Andes University, Santiago, Chile, presented an abstract at the 45th Chilean Congress of Anesthesiology on November 11, 2017, entitled: UTILIZATION OF DYNAMIC PRESSURE SENSING IN EPIDURAL PUNCTURE FOR LABOR.

The abstract summarizes the results of a new clinical study evaluating the use of Milestone's CompuFlotm Epidural Instrument in 50 labor and delivery patients. The epidural space was correctly identified in 100% of the patients. In addition, the epidural space was recognized on the first attempt in all of the patients. There were no cases of accidental dural puncture, a common risk factor for traditional epidural procedures using the loss of resistance technique.

Dr. Mark Hochman, D.D.S, Director of Clinical Affairs for Milestone Scientific, commented, "The results of this study reinforce the advantages of our technology. Not only was the epidural space correctly identified in 100% of patients, but it was recognized on the first attempt. This represents a significant benefit for the payors, physicians, and most importantly, the patients."

"We are pleased to see the CompuFlotm Epidural Instrument featured in an independent, investigator-led clinical study. The abstract presentation at the 45th Chilean Congress of Anesthesiology represents the first formal presentation of our CompuFlotm Epidural Instrument in South America, and we are excited to see the technology rapidly gaining recognition around the world," continued Dr. Hochman.
