Sonavex careers

Many surgical procedures involve a surgical connection of blood vessels to provide blood flow to downstream tissue. In up to 15% of cases a non-preventable clot forms in the post-operative period. If it is not recognized in time, all of the newly transplanted tissue will die. Though preventable with early intervention, failures currently occur half the time with clots due to limitations of current monitoring modalities. Beyond tremendous patient morbidity, hospitals are not reimbursed for follow-on procedures and long LOS, costing between $55K-$500K per instance. Sonavex's EchoSure detects clots earlier than existing modalities, enabling intervention before morbid, expensive failures.
The two-part solution consists first of an absorbable marker placed underneath the vessels at the surgical site and software to guide users to the right position and extract blood flow data. Now nurses without sonographic training can monitor for clot formation during their current routine examinations.
