Our Company
The History of Milestone Scientific
Milestone is engaged in pioneering proprietary, highly innovative technological
systems and solutions for the medical and dental markets. From its inception,
the Company has focused its energy and resources on redefining the global
standard of care for injection techniques by making the experience more
comfortable for the patient and by reducing the anxiety and stress of
giving injections for the healthcare provider.
In 1997, Milestone first introduced The Wand® (CompuDent® system)
and disposable Wand handpiece. CompuDent provides painless injections
for all routine dental treatments, including root canals, crowns, fillings
and cleanings. Milestone’s Computer-Controlled Local Anesthetic
Delivery (CCLAD) system does not look like a syringe. It does not feel
like a syringe. And, what’s more, it works better than a syringe,
resulting in a more pleasant experience for the patient and practitioner.With
more than 18,000 CompuDent systems sold within four months of its market
introduction, this represented the most successful launch in the history
of small equipment sales in U.S. dentistry.
Milestone subsequently expanded its product offerings with the introduction
of the CompuMed® advanced injection system, designed for use in a
wide range of applications within the Medical industry, including cosmetic
surgery, hair restoration surgery, podiatry, colorectal surgery, nasal
and sinus surgery, dermatology and orthopedics, among others.
In February 2007, Milestone introduced the STA™ (Single Tooth Anesthesia)
System, a patented CCLAD system that incorporates the “pressure
feedback” elements of Milestone’s patented CompuFlo technology,
thereby allowing dentists to administer injections accurately and painlessly
into the periodontal ligament space, effectively anesthetizing a single
tooth. This injection is of significant value in that it allows the dentist
to profoundly anesthetize the patent within one or two minutes, allowing
for a significant savings of waiting time. The patient will suffer neither
pain nor collateral anesthesia in the cheek, lips of tongue at any time.
The STA System is also capable of performing all of the injections that
can be done with a conventional dental syringe, including the palatal-anterior
superior alveolar, anterior middle superior alveolar and inferior alveolar
nerve block. The STA System achieves all of these injections predictably
and reliably. Milestone received FDA 510(k) Pre-market Notification acceptance
in August 2006 for the marketing and sale of the highly anticipated STA
System.
