Milestone Scientific commences sales of CompuFlo disposables

Milestone Scientific reported it has commenced commercial sales of CompuFlo disposables for use in neurostimulation spinal cord stimulator implantation procedures at the University of Texas Medical Branch Health Clear Lake Campus Hospital, expanding use of CompuFlo within the institution beyond the labor and delivery department and training for residents in epidural needle placement and verification. Approval and adoption of the technology for neurostimulation spinal cord stimulator implantation follows a successful evaluation process by Dr. Patrick Karas, MD, a full-time faculty neurosurgeon at UTMB, operating at both the Galveston and Clear Lake campuses. Dr. Karas completed 10 cases using the CompuFlo Epidural system, in which he reported 100% success and no complications. Arjan Haverhals, CEO of Milestone Scientific, stated: “I am very pleased to announce that UTMB Health Clear Lake Campus Hospital has expanded the use of the CompuFlo Epidural beyond labor & delivery, to now include neurostimulation spinal cord stimulator implantation procedures. Use of our instrument for this procedure is further evidence of the broad potential of CompuFlo based on its ability to increase efficiency, safety and predictability, thus improving patient outcomes and lowering costs.”
