Bovie Medical Corporation's Annual Meeting of Shareholders Sees Royce T. Adkins, M.D., Report Favorably on J-Plasma(R)
MELVILLE, NY--(Marketwired - Jul 23, 2013) - Bovie Medical Corporation (the "Company") (NYSE MKT: BVX), a manufacturer and marketer of electrosurgical products, today announced that Royce T. Adkins, M.D., a key opinion leader in Women's Health and regularly listed as one of "America's Top Obstetricians and Gynecologists" by Who's Who Best Doctors in America, addressed Bovie's Annual Meeting held on July 16, 2013 at 3:00 P.M. Dr. Adkins shared his and other surgeons' sentiments and conclusions on J-Plasma®.
Dr. Adkins stated, "In 25 years as a surgeon, I have not previously had the ability to use such a safe product that not only gives me precise tissue dissection with the ability to coagulate safely near delicate tissues and other vital structures. Multiple colleagues have duplicated my experience and often say, 'Why didn't I think of this?' Often in surgery, surgeons may have the opportunity to utilize new and revolutionary tools. Unfortunately, the majority of these innovations frequently come with the significant disadvantage of adding cost to an already overwhelmed healthcare system. Compared to many of the tools surgeons previously have utilized, J-Plasma® outperforms many while providing an actual cost savings of several magnitudes to healthcare delivery systems who increasingly have either fixed or lower reimbursement for the majority of the care they provide our patients."
He concluded, "The unique physical qualities of a helium based gas plasma, used in J-Plasma®, may now possibly give us even better results in multiple applications due to the 'cooling effect' specifically on the tissue itself when compared to the heat produced by conventional electrosurgery and laser technology. In other words, a cool drink of water will basically not lead to the same degree of potential thermal tissue damage as compared to a boiling cup of coffee!"
