Flexible-Micro-Matrix-Interconnects for Transducers with Deeper Minimally Invasive Access$190Kvalue2024start2027end

Through the past two years, we have seen an increasing number of medical device companies pushing ultrasound into smaller spaces. This includes smaller incisions for minimally invasive surgeries, increased complexity for 3D imaging or multiplane imaging, robotic intervention, and intravascular and intracardiac imaging. By developing new methods for micro interconnects, Daxsonics will be able to develop transducers for mounting on catheters and being incorporated into robotic surgery applications.
