SonoClear is an acoustic coupling fluid that reduces image artefacts in ultrasound imaging.
Using Saline or Ringer as coupling fluid in large resection cavities may create artifacts that reduces the ultrasound image quality. The noise that occur, often at the bottom of resection cavities, is seen as unwanted brightness below the resection cavity in the images above. We are working closely with leading surgeons to solve this problem.
SonoClear reduces image artefacts by mimicking the physical properties of brain tissue.
SonoClear has been used in a Phase 1 clinical trial enrolling 15 patients. A significant improvement of image quality was observed with SonoClear.

Sonoclear AS develops an acoustic coupling fluid for use in ultrasound guided intraoperative procedures, aiming to enhance the ultrasound image quality. The goal is to provide surgeons with improved decision support, ultimately to improve patient health.
