BackgroundFirst popularized by Dolenc, anterior clinoidectomies were performed with rongeurs, before the adoption of modern high-speed drills. We describe a novel application of the piezoelectric BoneScalpel™ in anterior skull base and posterior fossa surgeries. In the literature, to date, there are no mentions of anterior clinoidectomies performed with piezosurgical devices.MethodsWe reported a total of 12 patients, 8 affected by posterior fossa tumors and 4 treated for anterior skull base oncologic and vascular pathologies...

BACKGROUND: Over the years, lumbar laminectomy has been widely employed by spinal surgeons for many purposes throughout the spinal canal. The Misonix BoneScalpel relies on ultrasonic energy and allows the surgeon to make precise osteotomies while protecting collateral or adjacent soft tissue structures. Amplification of electric impulses allows the blade in the BoneScalpel to oscillate at very high frequencies, which thus allow it to cut bone with immense amounts of heat, which are then tempered with copious irrigation to prevent overheating...

Design of Experiments (DOE) is useful tool for formulation optimization. In present study, Design Expert® software (version 13) was used for optimization of Poly(dl-lactide-co-glycolide) (50:50) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs). Capecitabine, an approved anticancer drug with short half-life, was used as model drug. Capecitabine NPs can minimize dosing frequency and improve patient compliance. Effect of two numeric (drug and polymer amount) and one categoric factor (pH of W2 phase) was studied on NP Size and Entrapment Efficiency (EE)...

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) pose a significant risk for infection and limb loss. Advanced wound therapies including human skin allografts have shown promise in resolving these challenging wounds. The primary objective of this randomised, prospective study was to compare the response of 100 subjects with non-healing DFUs of which 50 were treated with a cryopreserved bioactive split thickness skin allograft (BSA) (TheraSkin; Misonix,Inc., Farmingdale, NY) compared with 50 subjects treated with standard of care (SOC, collagen alginate dressing) at 12 weeks...

BACKGROUND: Osteochondromas are the most common benign bone tumor, accounting for 36% of benign bone tumors. Often found within the appendicular skeleton, osteochondromas of the spine are rare, comprising 4% to 7% of primary benign spinal tumors. CASE SUMMARY: We report a case of a solitary lumbar osteochondroma in an 18-year-old male with a history of a suprasellar pineal germinoma treated with combined chemotherapy and radiation. He underwent mass excision and partial laminectomy with the ultrasonic bone scalpel (Misonix, Farmingdale, NY, United States) at the L5 Level without the use of adjuvants...

BACKGROUND: En bloc surgical resection with wide margins offers the best local control rates for chondrosarcoma of the spine. OBJECTIVE: To describe the surgical technique for en bloc resection of a large thoracic chondrosarcoma using image guidance for a complex osteotomy with an ultrasonic bone cutting device (Misonix, Farmingdale, New York). METHODS: A 2-stage procedure was performed for resection of a thoracic chondrosarcoma involving the T3-T7 vertebral bodies...

INTRODUCTION: Cervical laminectomy is a surgical technique that is used to decompress the spinal cord. The standard equipment for making bony cuts includes a high-speed drill (HSD) or osteotome; the ultrasonic BoneScalpel® (UBS) by Misonix (Farmingdale, NY) may be used for this purpose either alone or in combination with other instruments. OBJECTIVE: We describe the operative technique and principles behind the use of the Misonix BoneScalpel (MBS) for subaxial cervical laminectomy...

PURPOSE: Safety and precision are 2 main goals in research to improve bone cutting in maxillofacial surgery. The aim of this prospective clinical study was to analyze the outcomes using an ultrasonic bone scalpel versus a piezoelectric surgical device and the conventional technique in a Le Fort I osteotomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We designed a prospective, randomized, single-blind cohort study. The predictor variables were the devices used to perform the Le Fort I osteotomy, divided into 3 groups: 1) ultrasonic bone scalpel (BoneScalpel; Misonix, Farmingdale, NY), 2) piezoelectric surgical device, and 3) conventional technique (Lindeman burr and reciprocal saw)...

Background: The development of high speed rotating burrs has greatly advanced spinal surgery in recent years. However, they produce unwanted frictional heat and temperature elevation during the burring process. We compare the misonix bone scalpel (MBS) and the Sonopet ultrasonic aspirator to assess which would be the safer device in terms of the risk of thermal injury following laminectomy. Methods: We describe an experimental nonrandomized study comparing two ultrasonic osteotomy devices...

INTRODUCTION: Surgical instrumentation is now available to facilitate wound debridement. The 2 primary options involve different energy applications, but both have the potential to spray. The Versajet II (Smith & Nephew, London, UK) utilizes a high-powered water jet to disrupt tissue and remove debris by means of the Venturi effect. The SonicVac (Misonix, Farmingdale, NY) is a direct-contact, low-frequency ultrasound debriding device. It delivers a high-energy ultrasound to a wound surface via a fluid medium, causing bubble cavitation, a physical effect of rapid pressure waves causing bubbles to form and implode that releases mechanical energy...

BACKGROUND: Laminoplasty in the case of intramedullary spinal tumor requires care to avoid neurologic injury. The harmonic bone scalpel provides a method of laminoplasty that can be done safely and quickly for this and other indications. PATIENTS: Five cases are presented, each of which required operative intervention, namely laminoplasty. The pathologies presented are one cervical intramedullary tumor, one thoracic intramedullary spinal mass, one lumbar extramedullary intradural tumor, and two cases of multiple lower brachial plexus nerve root avulsions requiring dorsal root entry zone (DREZ) lesion...

The use of a novel ultrasonic osteotome enabled the authors to modify well-established orthognathic osteotomies to more favourably address the anatomy. For this purpose, they utilized a powerful ultrasonic device with tissue-selective cutting characteristics that was originally developed for spinal osteotomies and nerve decompression (BoneScalpel™ by Misonix Inc., Farmingdale, NY, USA). Its straight ultrasonic blade was adapted for dual action, and a soft protective element was added. The product modifications and the related changes regarding maxillary and mandibular osteotomies are explained in detail...
