MELVILLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Bovie Medical Corporation (the "Company") (NYSE MKT: BVX), a manufacturer and marketer of electrosurgical products, today announced that the Company has received initial orders for J-Plasma™ and has been granted its fifth patent for the product.

J-PLASMA™

J-Plasma™ is formed by passing helium over Bovie's proprietary electrode, which is held at high voltage and high frequency, producing a luminous discharge beam. The electrode can also be in the form of a retractable surgical blade, providing multiple modes of operation in a single instrument. The extended surgical blade can be used for incisions and other cutting procedures, and when retracted, the blade is used to form the J-Plasma beam for coagulation. The extended blade can also be used in combination with the J-Plasma beam, providing an enhanced cutting capability with minimal impact on surrounding tissue.
