Misonix Announces New Distribution Agreement For Poland

FARMINGDALE, N.Y., May 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Misonix, Inc. (NasdaqGM: MSON), a surgical device company that designs, manufactures and markets innovative therapeutic ultrasonic products worldwide for spine surgery, skull-based surgery, neurosurgery, wound debridement, cosmetic surgery, laparoscopic surgery and other surgical applications has entered into a new, three year, exclusive distribution agreement with WA-Med, based in Swidnik, Poland, for the distribution of the BoneScalpel™ Ultrasonic Bone Cutting System. The agreement provides WA-Med with the right to sell throughout Poland. Included in the agreement are annual minimum purchase requirements. Product training is in process and open market sales will commence shortly.

WA-Med, known for their market presence in spine and other orthopedic surgeries, is well prepared and well positioned to successfully introduce high tech products to the Polish market. Their commitment to product support and education is well known and separates them from the competition.

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 pleased to add WA-Med to our developing distribution organization in Eastern Europe; their presence in a large, emerging market could add measurably to our sales success. We believe that partnering in new markets with organizations committed to customer service and education provides Misonix a competitive edge in developing relationships with the appropriate thought leaders that can, in turn, influence the medical community in their geographic areas to give our products a meaningful chance to attract their business. We think this is a "win/win" situation for all parties involved," said Michael A. McManus, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of Misonix.
