The Soundbite Solution
Cracking Calcium Made Easy Without Compromising on Safety
At the core of the innovative SoundBite® System is a proprietary method to generate, amplify, and deliver shock waves in a safe and controlled manner using an array of waveguide-based devices to fibro-calcific lesions across different vascular beds.
Shock waves are pressure pulses characterized by a high amplitude, rapid rise time, and short duration.
The SoundBite® System consists of a re-usable SoundBite® Console and single-use SoundBite® Active Devices.
The SoundBite® Console creates shock waves which are transmitted to SoundBite® Active Device platforms. The shock wave energy and unique “jackhammer effect” at the tip of the SoundBite® Active Device helps penetrate hard fibro-calcific lesions without compromising on safety.
Leveraging Our Shock Wave Technology Platform to Transform Markets
Soundbite Medical is building a portfolio of innovative products to address clinical unmet needs across different calcified vascular beds in large, growing & underserved markets.
Our product portfolio is designed to cross, prepare, and treat arterial blockages in the legs and heart, allowing us to respond to a wide range of physician and patient needs. Our innovative products currently fall into two categories:
CTO Crossing
Chronic total occlusions (CTOs) represent the “last frontier” of percutaneous interventions.
The SoundBite® Crossing Systems represent an industry-first and only “Active” wire-based guidewire technology, designed to facilitate the intra-luminal placement of conventional guidewires or treatment devices beyond chronic total occlusions in coronary and peripheral arteries.
The first indication we are targeting with our Crossing System is peripheral artery disease. The SoundBite® Crossing System – Peripheral is approved in major markets (FDA clearance, CE Mark, Health Canada approval) and is available in 0.018” and 0.014” platforms that are fully compatible with existing device ecosystems.
Atherectomy / Plaque Modification
The SoundBite® Active Microcatheter System which is currently in development is intended for plaque modification and atherectomy of highly calcified occlusions across different vessel beds in patients with coronary and peripheral artery disease. Plaque modification devices (including atherectomy) are designed to break or remove calcium through a variety of mechanisms to help vessel expansion and ultimately improve treatment.
Clinical Evidence
We are committed to building our clinical evidence with our devices in support of better utilization and procedure results and outcomes for patients suffering from calcific occlusive cardiovascular disease.
