FARMINGDALE, N.Y., June 23, 2015 /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, announced today that the BoneScalpel was featured in a presentation at the Spine Technology and Educational Group Organization's (STEGO) "State of Spine Surgery: A Think Tank" meeting held June 18 - 20, 2015 in Los Cabos, Mexico.

The BoneScalpel is an ultrasonic bone-cutting instrument that provides a clean, controlled bone incision and removal that is also soft-tissue sparing.  The BoneScalpel is used in many different surgical procedures, including spine. 

Gregory M. Mundis, Jr., MD, an orthopedic surgeon practicing at the San Diego Center for Spinal Disorders, San Diego, CA, presented The Use of an Ultrasonic BoneScalpel in the Treatment of Spinal Deformity to an audience of spine surgeons on Friday, June 19, 2015.  Dr. Mundis said, "The BoneScalpel is a mainstay in my deformity surgery practice as it offers greater efficiencies, less blood loss and a safer procedure than traditional instruments."

"The STEGO audience appeared very interested and engaged with learning about the BoneScalpel technology.  For those in attendance, several surgeons have already incorporated BoneScalpel into their practice, yet many more appeared anxious to evaluate the technology for themselves," he added.

"We are encouraged by the rapidly growing number of surgeons who use the BoneScalpel everyday around the world.  Presentations at important meetings, such as this one, are instrumental in generating awareness and expanding the user base for the BoneScalpel amongst the global spine surgeon community," said Michael A. McManus, Jr., president and chief executive officer of Misonix.
