BOVIE
MEDICAL CORPORATION ANNOUNCES CE MARK FOR SALE
AND
MARKETING OF MEG LAPAROSCOPIC LINE
Melville,
New York, May 5, 2008 - Bovie Medical Corporation (the “Company”) (Amex: BVX), a
manufacturer and marketer of electrosurgical products, today announced a CE
Mark
for its Modular Ergonomic Instruments (MEG laparoscopic line), allowing the
MEG
Laparoscopic line to be marketed throughout the European Union.
The
patent-pending modular forceps and accessories are designed to provide surgeons
added comfort while reducing per-procedure costs through the reduction of
inventory and obsolescence. The proprietary instruments offer a simpler
assembly process for laparoscopic procedures. The MEG Laparoscopic line is
directed towards the laparoscopic market with estimated worldwide size exceeding
$425 million. The Company anticipates shipments of the instrument line to
commence during the second quarter of 2008.
Mr.
Johan
Segers of Antwerp, Belgium, was appointed Bovie’s Director of Sales and
Marketing for Europe and the Middle East.
Mr.
Segers has a Masters Degree in Health Care Sciences from the University of
Brussels and has over 25 years of successful distribution experience with US,
Israeli and European medical companies. Mr. Segers is in the process of
recruiting and training a network of talented distributors throughout the EU
and
Middle East markets as well as retaining key surgeon opinion leaders for the
MEG
Laparoscopic line of instruments as well as other Bovie products.
Andrew
Makrides, president of Bovie Medical, stated, “The CE Mark confirms compliance
with essential requirements of the European Medical Devices Directive and
represents a product development milestone for our company. We look to
build on this success with additional new products coming to market in the
near
future.”
This
document may contain some forward looking statements, particularly regarding
operational prospects in 2008 and beyond, which involve a number of risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. These
