Misonix Incorporated Release: New Data Reports Reduction in Blood Loss With Misonix SonicOne® O.R. In Burn Patients

FARMINGDALE, N.Y., Nov. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Misonix, Inc. (NasdaqGM: MSON), an international surgical device company that designs, manufactures and markets innovative therapeutic ultrasonic products for spine surgery, skull-based surgery, neurosurgery, wound debridement, cosmetic surgery, laparoscopic surgery and other surgical applications, announced that new data on SonicOne O.R. was presented at the American Burn Association's ("ABA") 2014 Western Regional Burn Conference in Las Vegas, NV, held November 6-9, 2014. The ABA and its more than 3,500 members promote and support burn-related research, education, care, rehabilitation and prevention.

The SonicOne O.R. is an innovative surgical device that allows surgeons to address the challenges chronic wounds present to them, the patient, and the health-care system. SonicOne O.R. establishes a new standard in surgical wound bed preparation, an essential first step in the wound healing process. Use of the SonicOne O.R. system provides controlled tissue removal, decreased healing times, reduced bleeding and a reduction of biofilm.

Abraham Houng, MD, Associate Program Director for the Division of Burn Surgery at Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, New Jersey (the 5th largest burn center in the United States) presented an abstract entitled, Using Ultrasonic Technology for Tangential Burn Excision. The study concluded that "Surgical Debridement System (Misonix SonicOne O.R.) is safe and effective for use in tangential excision of third degree burn wounds." Dr. Houng further commented, "The calculated blood loss using SonicOne O.R. is significantly less than published blood loss using standard excision technique and this represents a very important advancement in the treatment of this very sick patient population."

"These study results provide further clinical evidence to support the safety and effectiveness of SonicOne O.R. ultrasonic technology in the treatment of burn wounds.  We remain enthusiastic as we continue to see more and more facilities electing to bring SonicOne O.R. into their operating rooms.  This new data presented at the ABA meeting further validates the clinical benefits of our unique technology," said Michael A. McManus, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of Misonix.
