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 Thimar Al Jazirah Health Care, based in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, for the distribution of the SonaStar(TM) Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator and the BoneScalpel(TM) Ultrasonic Bone Cutter. The agreement provides Thimar with the exclusive rights to sell in Saudi Arabia and includes minimum purchase requirements.
Thimar is recognized for successfully introducing state-of-the-art medical devices and capital equipment to the Saudi Arabian surgical marketplace and has a particular expertise in Neuro, Spine, and Orthopedic surgery. Training of their personnel will be accomplished at a late January sales meeting in Dubai.
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 takes great pleasure in adding Thimar to our growing organization of Middle Eastern specialty distributors, a geographic area that is receiving special emphasis 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 high sales potential products through their well established surgical products sales force."
