LIVINGSTON, NJ / ACCESSWIRE / March 19, 2019 / Milestone Scientific Inc. (NYSE American: MLSS) today announced that the Board of Directors plans to establish a special committee of the Board to evaluate strategic options, which could include the potential sale or licensing of different instruments and/or other business combinations.
Leslie Bernhard, Chairman of Milestone Scientific, stated, "Our mission has been to develop a portfolio of new technologies around our core platform, the patented DPS Dynamic Pressure Sensing® injection technology, which has the potential to improve success rates, reduce complications and lower costs. Our goal has been, and continues to be, advancing these technologies to a commercial level whereby we could either sell or license the technology for specific indications, in order to maximize value for our shareholders. We are now at a stage that our dental division is well beyond proof of concept and on a growth trajectory. The CompuFlo™ Epidural instrument is beginning to generate commercial traction following publication of clinical research that found it to be a safe alternative to the current standards of care. Given the third-party interest in our technology, including both dental and medical applications, the Board decided this is the time to establish a special committee to carefully evaluate all potential strategic options. We will provide further updates as developments unfold."
