About the Company:

HistoSonics, Inc. was created to advance the development of histotripsy, a revolutionary science discovered and developed by leading scientists at the University of Michigan to provide improved therapies for patients. Our exclusive license to intellectual property, significant financial support and strategic partnerships have helped HistoSonics develop Robotically Assisted Sonic Therapy (RAST), a new platform being developed for cancer care that uses histotripsy. HistoSonics’ team of experienced specialists and industry leaders is based in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

HistoSonics’ unique new platform technology has the potential to fundamentally change the nature of cancer therapy.  RAST uses histotripsy and the mechanical properties of focused ultrasound to destroy targeted tissues without damaging surrounding tissue or structures. This non-invasive, non-thermal treatment can be used to safely, precisely and effectively destroy unwanted tissue throughout the body, reducing patient trauma and healthcare costs.
