LIVINGSTON, N.J., May 14, 2018 — Milestone Scientific Inc. (NYSE:MLSS), a leading developer of computerized drug delivery instruments that provide painless and precise injections, today provided an update on its unfolding sales strategy for the U.S., and announced it has signed an agreement with a leading Midwestern distributor and is engaging with other distributors nationwide.

Leonard Osser, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Milestone Scientific, commented, “After careful evaluation of various options, we decided to pursue a decentralized sales strategy employing regional distributors with strong physician relationships within their respective territories and clinical specialties. In particular, we are targeting distributors with highly specialized sales forces that have the ability to both educate and inform anesthesiologists on the clinical benefits of the CompuFlo Epidural System. At the same time, I am pleased to report we have entered into the first such agreement with a leading distributor that brings very strong relationships with key opinion leaders and anesthesia providers across key markets in the Midwest. We are now in discussions with other distributors nationwide and look forward to announcing similar agreements in the coming weeks and months as we develop our sales channels in advance of having the results of our clinical trials published in select industry journals later this year.”
