According to SenoRx, this new version of the device incorporates a microminiaturization ultrasound technology that combines personal computing power and flexibility. The new ultrasound component is designed, developed and manufactured by Terason, a division of Teratech, based in Burlington, Massachusetts.
This versatile and unique ultrasound technology coupled with SenoRx’s EnCor vacuum-assisted biopsy technology results in an attractive alternative model of the SenoSonix System for customers. The modular design and imaging architecture are now available in a reduced footprint with increased portability, the company said.
Lloyd Malchow, president and CEO of SenoRx, said: “Our new SenoSonix model is designed to meet the needs of breast surgeons performing breast biopsy procedures utilizing ultrasound in both their offices and in the hospital surgery suite who wish to have the flexibility of moving the ultrasound component between the two locations.”
