Liiketoiminta
Osuus liikevaihdostaComputer-controlled dental anesthesia devices and related service revenue, including STA and legacy systems.
Single-use handpieces and other recurring consumables sold with dental devices.
Medical devices built on the DPS platform, including CompuFlo and CathCheck.

Asiakkaat
Customers are primarily dentists, dental groups, and dental offices that buy the STA system to improve patient comfort and standardize injection delivery. The medical side serves anesthesiologists and other clinicians using the CompuFlo and CathCheck systems for precise pressure-controlled delivery and verification. The company also sells through distributors internationally, which broadens access to smaller practices and foreign markets.
Buy STA devices and handpieces to improve patient comfort, reduce anxiety, and support repeat consumable purchases.
Purchase devices at scale and drive higher recurring handpiece usage across multiple locations.
Use CompuFlo and CathCheck for precise pressure-sensing delivery and procedural verification.
Buy and resell products in foreign markets to expand reach without a large direct sales force.
Strategia
Management is trying to shift Milestone from a research-heavy organization toward a more commercially focused medical device company. Near-term priorities are to grow dental revenue, expand international medical sales, and reduce operating expenses while preserving cash. The company is also emphasizing its DPS platform as a broader technology base for future applications beyond dentistry.
Dental products already generate most revenue and recurring handpiece sales support repeat business.
Foreign markets can broaden the installed base without requiring a large internal sales force.
The company remains dependent on external financing until it can generate positive cash flow.
Maantiede
2025Milestone sells in the United States and internationally, with management highlighting global expansion as a core objective. In the first half of 2025, international revenue was about $1.9 million and included roughly $110,000 from China, showing that overseas demand is a meaningful part of the mix. The company also launched U.S. e-commerce direct-to-end-user sales, which changed its domestic route to market and reduced reliance on prior distribution arrangements.

Riskit
Milestone remains a going-concern story, with recurring losses and a continuing need for external capital until profitability is achieved, if ever. Its business is also exposed to tariff and import restrictions because it sources essential components from China and sells into foreign markets. Execution risk is high because growth depends on converting a niche technology platform into broader commercial adoption across dental and medical channels.
