Why Ultrasound

Built for depth, size and a rechargeable future

  • Depth Designed for deep tissue power transfer
  • Rechargeability Rechargeable implant ecosystem
  • Miniaturization Supports miniaturized implants
  • Longevity Potential to reduce repeat replacement procedures
  • Compatibility Compatible with a wide range of implantable medical devices

Our Platform

Three components working as one system

01

Charging Station

An external ultrasound system that delivers focused acoustic energy while monitoring alignment and operating within established safety limits.

02

Disposable Patch

A single-use adhesive ultrasound interface designed to efficiently couple acoustic energy into the body.

03

Implant Receiver

A miniature ultrasound receiver integrated into an implant that converts acoustic energy into electrical power for battery charging.

Applications

One platform, many therapies

Cardiac Rhythm Management

Rechargeable pacemakers, ICDs, CRT devices and leadless pacing systems.

Neuromodulation

Spinal cord stimulators, deep brain stimulation and peripheral nerve stimulation.

Drug Delivery

Rechargeable implantable pumps and long-term therapeutic systems.

Future Bioelectronics

Emerging implantable sensing, monitoring and therapeutic platforms.

Current Development
