Melville, New York, November 21, 2011 – Bovie Medical Corporation (“Bovie” or the “Company”) (NYSE Amex: BVX), a manufacturer and marketer of electrosurgical products, today announced that  the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued U.S. Patent No. 8,057,468 entitled “Method to Generate a Plasma Stream for Performing Electrosurgery”  to Bovie Medical Corporation.

The patent covers a method of performing endoscopic or laparoscopic surgery with an electrosurgical device that generates a plasma stream. The plasma stream conducts electrosurgical energy to a patient to cut and coagulate blood or tissue. The method covered by the patent provides an electronegative gas, which confines the plasma stream to an elongated narrow beam to achieve precision point accuracy and stability of the plasma stream during an electrosurgical procedure.

The newly issued patent is the fourth related to Bovie’s J-Plasma technology with three additional patent applications pending.

In July 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors removed a director for cause.  The Company then sued the former director alleging that he engaged in self-dealing and other wrongful acts, including statements intended to directly and negatively impact Bovie’s share price.  In response, the former director made unfounded allegations in a counterclaim against Bovie.  The allegations in the derivative action appear to be based largely on the former director’s counterclaim.

Management is investigating whether there is a collusive connection between the newly-filed derivative action and the pending lawsuit with the former director.  In the event that it is determined that any such collusion has taken place and is in fact wrongful, Management will take appropriate action to protect the Company and its stockholders.

Melville, New York, August 12, 2011 – Bovie Medical Corporation (the “Company”) (NYSE Amex: BVX), a manufacturer and marketer of electrosurgical products, today announced its financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011.

Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 increased 16% to $6.8 million versus $5.9 million for the comparable period last year.  Net income was $429,000 or $.02 per diluted share compared to a net income of $56,000 or $.00 per share in the same period last year.

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased 13% to $13.0 million versus $11.5 million for the comparable period last year. Net income was $921,000 or $.05 per diluted share compared to a net loss of $(170,000) or $(.01) per share in the same period last year. Revenues continued to be positively impacted by increased OEM generator sales as well as higher disposable electrode sales. This improved product mix increased gross profit margins 2.2% for the first six months of 2011, which combined with cost reductions and a $750,000 gain from a litigation settlement helped to increase the Company’s cash position to over $5.7 million as of June 30.

In other news, the Company received a $2.6 million commitment from an OEM customer to manufacture electrosurgical generators with delivery slated to begin later in the year.  Bovie has also received initial orders resulting from its exclusive distribution agreement for the sale of a new next-generation medical lighting product entry.

Andrew Makrides, Chief Executive Officer of the Company stated, “We are pleased with the revenue increase the Company achieved in the second quarter and first six months of the year.  We are also very encouraged by the positive surgeon response regarding our J-Plasma® technology, as we await 510K clearance to market the handpiece.  Management believes that with the substantial advancements made on J-Plasma® and with its significant potential for use in several surgical specialties, Bovie is primed to become a potential leader in plasma surgery.”

NEW PRODUCT UPDATE

As announced previously, Bovie has joined with an outside regulatory consulting firm to assist in preparing and filing 510K applications.  Changing procedures at the FDA and lengthier average times for obtaining regulatory clearances have caused management to retain the firm.  As a result, and with the firm’s assistance, Bovie submitted a new 510K application for the J-Plasma® handpiece, having also been advised that the process toward clearance would be expedited by the resubmission.

Vessel Sealing and 1450 Generator
The Company is in the final stages of completing the necessary testing and paperwork in order to submit new vessel sealing and Bovie 1450 electrosurgical generator 510k applications to the FDA. By working with the regulatory consulting firm, the Company anticipates a more streamlined and faster 510k submission and clearance process.

Rob Saron, president of Bovie Medical stated, “We are excited to add this domestic manufactured line of medical lighting as a compliment to our electrosurgical products, since it represents the same call point for both our sales representatives and
distribution partners.”

Melville, New York, May 12, 2011 – Bovie Medical Corporation (the “Company”) (NYSE Amex: BVX), a manufacturer and marketer of electrosurgical products, today announced its financial results for the first quarter and year ended March 31, 2011.

Revenues for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011 increased 10% to $6.2 million versus $5.6 million for the comparable period last year. Revenues were positively impacted by increased OEM generator sales as well as higher electrosurgical disposable sales.

Net income was $492,000 or $.03 per diluted share compared to a loss of ($226,000) or ($.01) per share in the same period last year. During the quarter, the Company received a one-time payment of $750,000 as part of a previously announced settlement of a legal action with Salient Surgical Technologies, Inc. and Medtronic, Inc. This gain was reflected in our results of operations as a gain from settlement of litigation.

Andrew Makrides, chief executive officer of Bovie Medical, stated, “Both new and longstanding OEM customer sales increases positively impacted on first quarter revenues. We are pleased with the revenue gains and the trend continued early into the second quarter. We are also encouraged by the response that our network of independent sales representatives is receiving from surgeons
and buyers of medical equipment throughout the country.”

Mr. Makrides continued, “Due to the much longer process of clearing new products through the Food & Drug Administration, we have dedicated additional resources both internal and external to the application process. The application phase for J-Plasma® continues as we await 510k clearance.  The company also expects to file a re-submission of its vessel sealing product during the second or third quarter.”

NEW PRODUCT UPDATE

J-Plasma®

In the first quarter, Bovie Medical increased J-Plasma’s exposure to the medical community by meeting with and gaining support and input from physicians, nurses and physician assistants in specialties such as Gynecology, Uro-gynecology and Plastic Surgery, as well as sub-specialties such as robotic surgery. As a result of recent testing and industry trade shows, we believe Bovie will be better positioned to market J-Plasma in foreign markets earlier than previously anticipated, although the initial focus continues to be for the U.S. market.   We intend to continue studies beyond the current 510k filing of the J-Plasma device to establish further uses of the technology and expand its revenue potential. 

Vessel Sealing

Tests have demonstrated efficacy in our redesigned and updated vessel sealing technology as we enter the final phases of the 510k re-submission process.  Our intention is to deliver a cost effective device with superior performance than what is currently being marketed.

Disposable Laparoscopic Instruments and Coated Blades

Our independent sales force has successfully launched our disposable laparoscopic instruments by receiving both orders and re-orders since the products early March launch.  We now have over 50 independent sales reps selling some of our disposable products and anticipate this channel continuing to successfully introduce new products as they become available.

Melville, New York, March 31, 2011 – Bovie Medical Corporation (the “Company”) (NYSE Amex: BVX), a manufacturer and marketer of electrosurgical products, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2010.

Revenues for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2010 were approximately $6.2 million versus an approximate $6.5 million for the comparable period last year. During the fourth quarter of 2010, we recognized a non-recurring impairment loss of approximately $1.3 million; resulting in a net loss of approximately $(1,369,000) or $(0.08) per share as compared to net income of approximately $27,000 or $.00 per diluted share in the same period last year. The aforementioned impairment loss was the result of our annual evaluation of the future outlook of our patent related to our SEER product line, after which we determined that the asset value was fully impaired; we further calculated the impairment loss to be approximately $1.3 million.

Revenues for the year ended December 31 were approximately $24.2 million versus an approximate $26.9 million for the comparable period last year; resulting in an approximate net loss of $(1,535,000) or $(0.09) per share as compared to an approximate net income of $595,000 or $.03 per diluted share in the same period in the prior year. The decrease in revenues for the year was primarily due to a decline in OEM sales of approximately $3.6 million. The decrease in sales was partially offset by increased domestic and international electrosurgical generators and cauteries sales; with international sales spiking to a record exceeding $5 million. Net loss includes non-recurring expenses of approximately $1.3 million relating to asset impairment, a $300,000 loss on the sale of our St. Petersburg, Florida property and $100,000 on the closing of the Canadian facility.  In addition, there were increased professional and consulting fees totaling $145,000.

Andrew Makrides, chief executive officer of Bovie Medical, stated, “The Company continues to place great effort and resources into the development of J-Plasma having submitted a 510k application to the FDA for a new handpiece with retractable cutting features used in both laparoscopic and open procedures. Since the outset of the current fiscal year, surgeons in diverse specialties have evaluated J-Plasma and the feedback received is most encouraging. While awaiting 510k clearance, J-Plasma developmental progress has far exceeded our expectations and management is convinced that its market potential will be the prime engine of Bovie’s future growth.”

Mr. Makrides continued, “We have increased our sales and marketing efforts with the engagement of over 50 commission-based direct sales representatives.  The sales of our Resistick II™ coated blades and the initial orders of our laparoscopic instruments through this network have been encouraging.”

NEW PRODUCT UPDATE

J-Plasma®

Work and additional testing in support of the application process for 510K clearance to market the J-Plasma® handpiece with retractable cutting features continues to progress.

The combination of J-Plasma® energy with an extendable knife allows the surgeon to cut as well as reduce tissue bleeding without the need of a grounding pad.  By using a single, multi-modal instrument, the Company believes surgeons will reduce their operating time and lower the cost of a procedure.

Vessel Sealing

The Seal-N-Cut™ is going through additional testing and due to recent device design improvements and we currently anticipate that we will be re-submitting an application for 510k clearance in the third quarter of 2011. The vessel sealing market continues to be among the fastest growing markets of electrosurgery.

Disposable Laparoscopic Instruments and Coated Blades

Bovie’s more than 50 independent sales representatives have recently commenced marketing the laparoscopic instruments with what we view as a positive market response. Sales of Resistick™ II and the coated blades product lines continue to increase since their introduction several months ago.
