LIVINGSTON, NJ--(Marketwired - December 18, 2017) - Milestone Scientific Inc.(NYSE: MLSS), a leading developer of computerized drug delivery instruments that provide painless and precise injections, today announced that the Board of Directors has appointed former CEO Leonard Osser as Interim Chief Executive Officer, replacing Leslie Bernhard, effective immediately. Leslie Bernhard will remain Chairman of the Board.

Ms. Bernhard commented, "As founder of the company, Leonard Osser has been instrumental in both the growth and strategic vision for the Company. While we are continuing our search for a new CEO, this process has been slower than expected because the Company has been focused on several ongoing strategic initiatives that Leonard is spearheading. For this reason, he has graciously agreed to resume the role as CEO pending completion of these major projects and selection of a new long-term CEO. We greatly appreciate his support and believe his continued involvement both at the executive and board level will be invaluable to our long-term success."

"I am more excited than ever about the long-term outlook for Milestone given the recent FDA approval of our epidural instrument on the heels of our successful clinical trial, the planned launch of our cosmetic instrument and the success of our distribution partnership with Henry Schein for the dental instrument. We have garnered significant interest in each of these instruments, as well as others, and we look forward to providing further updates in the months ahead."
