US-based medical technology company SonaCare Medical has entered into a marketing alliance with Invivo to facilitate a better tracking of appropriate targets for prostate high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation.

Under the alliance, SonaCare Medical has assumed the licensing rights of Invivo’s UroNav fusion software, which has been integrated by both the company’s engineers with the Sonablate planning system, a product of SonaCare.

The integration allows urologists who have used UroNav to annotate and biopsy targeted prostate tissue, to detect the specific tissue appropriate for ablation directly in the Sonablate software.

"Achieving compatibility between our respective products provides Sonablate customers with much easier access to Invivo’s integrated portfolio of Prostate Oncology Solutions"

The Sonablate is a next generation software for ablation of prostate tissue. It delivers precise and focused ablation.

It is driven by the A3 Technology which allows physicians to target specific tissue using integrated ultrasound imaging and sophisticated planning tools; ablate targeted tissue with HIFU ablation that offers accuracy while sparing untargeted tissue.

Following its FDA approval, the software has been used by 15,000 patients in more than 30 countries.
