The company is described in its public disclosures as a developer of computerized drug delivery instruments that provide painless and precise injections, with systems designed to make injections precise, efficient and to increase overall patient comfort and safety.
According to Milestone Scientific, its computer-controlled systems are built around its proprietary DPS Dynamic Pressure Sensing Technology®. These instruments are designed to regulate flow rate and monitor pressure from the tip of the needle, supporting the development of next-generation devices for subcutaneous drug delivery, including local anesthetic. This technology underpins the company’s platforms in both the dental and medical markets.

Milestone Scientific states that it operates across dental and medical applications. In dentistry, the company develops, manufactures, markets and sells computer-controlled systems for the delivery of local anesthetics. The system is marketed in dentistry under the trademark CompuDent, and the company also highlights the STA® Single Tooth Anesthesia System and The Wand® STA System as core dental offerings. These systems are intended to support improved, and in the company’s words painless and precise, delivery of anesthetic during dental procedures.
On the medical side, Milestone Scientific points to its CompuFlo® technology and the CompuFlo® Epidural System. The company describes CompuFlo as a platform that precisely identifies the epidural space with real-time pressure feedback, and as a technology used in interventional pain management and spinal procedures.

The company states that the Ambassador Program is intended to expand clinical awareness and adoption of The Wand STA System by connecting interested practices with Milestone’s commercial and clinical support teams for product demonstrations, training and evaluation of clinical and operational benefits.
