Milestone Scientific Inc (NYSE American: MLSS) is a medical device company that develops and commercializes computer-controlled drug delivery systems for dental and medical applications. Revenue is generated through the sale of electro-mechanical instruments and proprietary disposable handpieces used in conjunction with those instruments. The company's core products are the Wand/STA Single Tooth Anesthesia System for dental injections and the CompuFlo Epidural System for epidural space identification, both built on its proprietary CompuFlo and DPS Dynamic Pressure Sensing technology. The STA System and its predecessor C-CLAD devices have been used in more than 95 million injections globally as of the FY2025 10-K filing. Milestone Scientific carries substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern without raising additional capital, citing recurring losses, accumulated deficit, and reliance on external financing as of December 31, 2025. The company does not pay dividends and had approximately 3,507 beneficial owners of common stock as of March 31, 2026.
