FDA CLEARANCE - press release

SonoWand Invite™

- We are looking forward to selling our unique product on the US market and we are ready to start the job immediately, says CEO Atle Kleven. - With SonoWand Invite™ we are making intraoperative imaging in neurosurgery available for everybody.

SonoWand Invite is the first intraoperative imaging system for neurosurgery based on 3D ultrasound. The system provides high accuracy throughout the entire operating procedure, giving the surgeon the advantage of having the most recent and accurate information available when making decisions.

- This is a great day for us and we are all very happy, says Tove Prestmo, Director of Quality and regulatory Affairs. 

The system has been available to the European market since early 2009, and now it is finally cleared for introduction to the US neurosurgical market as well. The American neurosurgeons have already been given a sneak preview of the system at a couple of neurosurgical congresses and the feedback has been unanimously positive. - The combination of the latest developments in ultrasound technology and neuronavigation creates a powerful imaging modality, making the SonoWand Invite™ a growing preference of leading neurosurgeons, says CEO Atle Kleven.

The SonoWand Invite™ system makes it possible to perform a more radical resection in a safer way. - At SONOWAND our main goal is to improve quality of life for patients, by providing the surgeon with real-time images during surgery says Mr. Kleven.
