Sonivate and Fukuda Denshi Announce Strategic Partnership
Beaverton, OR (PRWEB) January 16, 2014 -- Sonivate Medical, Inc. and Fukuda Denshi USA announced today a strategic partnership to market and distribute the Sonivate SonicEye® finger probe with Fukuda Denshi ultrasound systems. The SonicEye® is a high-performance, finger-mounted probe that allows clinicians to use one finger to image while leaving both hands free to simultaneously perform procedures. That unique capability extends ultrasound to new applications and new clinical settings.
“We are putting patient care directly in the hands of physicians and clinicians with the SonicEye®,” said company founder, Ron Schutz MD, FACC. “The SonicEye® is a technological advancement that places Fukuda Denshi at the forefront of patient care and ultrasound innovation,” added Julie Davis, Ultrasound Business Development Manager for Fukuda Denshi USA.
The agreement allows for global distribution of SonicEye® with compatible Fukuda Denshi ultrasound systems.
