Ashland, MA: Soundwave Research Laboratories, Inc. announced that it is in early stages of adapting its proprietary Acoustic Nanofilm materials to medical imaging devices. The material, which relies on nanostructured, high strength films configured as an acoustically sensitive surface, has already been commercialized in some of the company's non-medical products. Multiple US and foreign patents are pending on Acoustic Nanofilm, covering carbon nanotube, nanofiber, and nanofilm varieties. The company is currently engaged in licensing and supply discussions with manufacturers of acoustic recording equipment.
"Acoustic Nanofilm is unique" remarked company president Robert Crowley, who has dozens of patents in the acoustics fields, and who is the inventor of the direct view catheter ultrasound system that is still used today to diagnose coronary disease. "The material is incredibly strong, responsive, sensitive, and we think well suited to catheter applications, where size is a constraint".
Soundwave Research Laboratories, Inc. is a developer and manufacturer of sound-sensing products used in recording and medical device industries, and is the owner of 3VUS tm, which is a new 3rd Generation Vascular Ultrasound technology that will be used to obtain clearer images of diseased coronary arteries, so that doctors can perform stent procedures with better results.
