Baltimore-based Sonavex develops automated 3D ultrasound solutions for dialysis access care, helping clinicians visualize and quantify vascular anatomy during fistula maturation and cannulation. Its physician-supported technologies include the EchoMark and EchoSure system for measuring fistula flow, diameter and depth, and EchoMap for showing vessel path and depth without requiring prior ultrasound experience. The multidisciplinary team brings together surgeons, scientists, technologists and business leaders, with research supported by federal and state agencies.
Sonogen MedicalFounded by acoustics and ultrasound expert Alan Winder, Sonogen Medical develops advanced ultrasound devices for bone-fracture healing. Based in Baltimore’s Launchport medical-device incubator, the company pairs a portable 20-minute-per-day treatment device with ultrasound-based monitoring that lets patients and caregivers follow healing progress.
