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.
TherapeuSonics’ core proprietary technology is a next-generation, non-invasive tissue fractionation platform 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, the system initiates localised heating to generate primary vapour bubbles, which then induce a powerful and highly controllable cavitation phenomenon. This mechanism mechanically destroys the targeted tissue without causing damage to the surrounding normal tissue.
TherapeuSonics holds exclusive rights to pressure-modulated shockwave histotripsy, the foundational technology for next-generation therapeutic ultrasound devices.
