- In surgery cutting, one's access to the operative field risks infection and bleeding. Minimally invasive surgery only reduces these risks.
- Knifeless surgery with highly intense focused ultrasound (HIFU) acts through the intact body surface completely eliminating the risks of knife, access, bleeding, infection and wound care.
- Theraclion's Sonovein uses HIFU for varicose veins. It is the first non-invasive and painless intervention, a unique selling proposition in a market of five million interventions per year.
- Knifeless HIFU-surgery is a disruptive innovation like computed tomography or the balloon catheter. Its growth potential is underestimated and undervalued.
