Misonix, Inc. (Nasdaq: MSON), a developer of minimally invasive ultrasonic medical device technology, which in Europe is used for the ablation of tumors and worldwide for other acute health conditions, has entered into a new, three year distribution agreement with Varlix Mexico, S.A. de C.V., based in Mexico City, Mexico, for the distribution of the SonaStar(TM) Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator and the BoneScalpel(TM) Ultrasonic Bone Cutter. The agreement provides Varlix with the rights to sell exclusively in Mexico and includes minimum purchase requirements.
Varlix has routinely proven their ability to successfully introduce state-of-the-art medical devices and capital equipment to the Mexican surgical marketplace. They are recognized for their special expertise in neuro and spine surgery.
The SonaStar is used by Neuro and General Surgeons for quick and efficient removal of both hard and soft tumors while sparing most vessels. In addition, OsteoSculpt(TM) 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.
"Misonix is pleased to add Varlix to our family of Latin American specialty distributors, a geographic area that is receiving a focused effort from our Sales and Marketing team," said Michael A. McManus, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of Misonix. "We are particularly pleased that they will be distributing two of our leading products through their well established surgical products organization."
