FARMINGDALE, N.Y., April 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Misonix, Inc. (NasdaqGM: MSON), a surgical device company that designs, manufactures and markets innovative therapeutic ultrasonic products worldwide for wound debridement, spine surgery, cosmetic surgery, neurosurgery, laparoscopic surgery and other surgical applications, has entered into a new, three year, exclusive distribution agreement with Neuro Dynamics S.A. for the distribution of the SonaStar® Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator and the BoneScalpel™ Ultrasonic Bone Cutter.  The agreement provides Neuro Dynamics with the right to sell throughout Panama.  Included in the agreement are annual minimum purchase requirements.  Product training is complete and open market sales have commenced.

Neuro Dynamics is well established in the fields of spine surgery and neurosurgery with a well-earned reputation for successfully introducing state-of-the-art technology to the market in Panama.  Their commitment to product support and education is consistent with the core values of Misonix.

The SonaStar is used by neurosurgeons and general surgeons for quick and efficient removal of both hard and soft tumors while sparing most vessels.  OsteoSculpt™ bone sculpting technology can be employed with the SonaStar to safely remove osseous structures, thus providing access to the surgical site.

The BoneScalpel is a tissue specific osteotomy device capable of making precise cuts through bone and hard tissue while largely preserving delicate soft tissue structures.  It offers the convenience and speed of a power instrument without the danger associated with rotary sharps.

"We are very pleased to add Neuro Dynamics to our rapidly expanding, broad-based Latin American distribution team.  Their reputation for successfully introducing new technologies to the Panamanian healthcare community is well known to us," said Michael A. McManus, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of Misonix.  "We are particularly pleased that they will be selling two of our key products throughout Panama."
