Company patents

HistoSonics, Inc.

HistoSonics, Inc. demonstrates a strong, albeit consolidating, focus on medical device innovation, with 66.7% of its portfolio in Electrotherapy / Radiation Therapy and 48.1% in Medical Diagnostics & Surgery. While both core areas saw significant growth in 2024 (+140.0% and +50.0% respectively), the patenting activity in these categories appears to be shifting, with a notable decline in filings so far in 2026 (down 41.7% and 42.9% respectively), suggesting a potential pivot from rapid expansion to refinement or strategic pruning of its intellectual property.

HISTOTRIPSY SYSTEMS AND ASSOCIATED METHODS INCLUDING USER INTERFACES AND WORKFLOWS FOR TREATMENT PLANNING AND THERAPY

Filed:2025-09-15Pub:2026-03-19
Applicant:HistoSonics, Inc.

A system and method, including an ultrasound imaging transducer, an ultrasound therapy transducer, a robotic arm configured to orient the ultrasound imaging transducer and the ultrasound therapy transducer about a patient, a display connected to imaging transducer, and a memory, storing instructions that when executed by a processor receive ultrasound images from the imaging transducer, present ultrasound images, receive an input to alter a shape of a contour line, present the contour line, receive an input of a size of a margin around the treatment area, present the margin, determine end points at locations where X, Y, and Z axes bisect the contour line in an XZ plane and a YZ plane, drive the ultrasound therapy transducer to a location where a focal point of the ultrasound therapy transducer is at the end point, and determining whether a resistance to movement exceeds a threshold.
