TherapeuSonics Co., Ltd. is a deep-tech startup dedicated to the research and development of next-generation therapeutic ultrasound technology, driven by our proprietary pressure-modulated shockwave histotripsy.
Our core proprietary technology is a next-generation, non-invasive tissue fractionation platform based on pressure-modulated shockwave histotripsy that overcomes the limitations of conventional therapeutic ultrasound. It precisely targets and mechanically fractionates biological tissue using highly engineered ultrasound energy.
By utilising pressure-modulated shockwaves, our system generates a powerful and highly controllable cavitation phenomenon. This mechanism mechanically destroys the targeted tissue without causing damage to the surrounding normal tissue.
The lesion size can be controlled from small to large by adjusting the pressure modulation timing.
TherapeuSonics holds exclusive rights to pressure-modulated shockwave histotripsy, the foundational technology for next-generation therapeutic ultrasound devices.
