Farmingdale, N.Y.-based Misonix Inc. will be hosting several educational panels at this year’s North American Spine Society (NASS) annual meeting from Nov. 12-15 in San Francisco, Calif. The panels will be led by spine surgeons, and will be covering the benefits of Misonix’s ultrasonic BoneScalpel device, as well as current concepts in ultrasonic bone cutting.
According to the company, the BoneScalpel makes for a gentle osteotomy procedure. Ultrasonic bone cutting is made possible by amplifying an electrical signal and converting it into a high back-and-forth motion of a blunt blade at the high frequency of 22,500 times per second.
“During the ‘Meet the Expert’ sessions, spine surgeons will learn several applications of the BoneScalpel in spine surgery along with the benefits this unique technology offers both surgeons and patients,” Greg Mundis, M.D., Scripps Clinic Orthopedic Surgery, San Diego, Calif. “In my practice, the BoneScalpel provides for improved surgical efficiencies, reduced bleeding and soft tissue protection while offering controlled incising of bone and hard tissue during spinal procedures.”
Misonix makes therapeutic ultrasonic instruments for spine surgery, neurosurgery and other surgical specialties.
Misonix will be displaying its technology on the conference floor at booth #510.
