Bovie Medical Corp. Continues To Receive Positive Responses For Its J-Plasma™ Technology

Currently, 54 Bovie Medical sales reps blanket a substantial part of the U.S. and report strong interest in the J-Plasma™.  The Company continues to add and train representatives on a weekly basis and it is anticipated that the Company will eventually have 120 representatives throughout the U.S.

Company management believes that although sales to date are in their early stages, due to the lengthy committee approval and evaluation process, J-Plasma's™ benefits, coupled with hospital purchasing committee approvals and continued surgeon exposure, should result in a medical success for Bovie Medical with a goal of potential sales in the tens of millions.

Additionally, leading surgeons in the West and Southeast are currently conducting teaching labs and courses for varied uses of J-Plasma™ for both surgeons and sales representatives. Bovie will also be attending multiple conferences that specifically target minimally invasive surgeons, including conferences ACOG, SLS, and AAGL commencing in May and continuing for the rest of the year.

Jeff Rencher, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, stated, "We are pleased and enthused with the overwhelming positive feedback we have received from well recognized and established surgeons who are now committed J-Plasma users." He also stated, "We are very confident that our state-of-the-art technology has the capability to become a commonplace fixture in hospitals and outpatient surgery centers."
