Our Solution
RAST uses histotripsy and the mechanical properties of focused ultrasound to destroy targeted tissues without damaging surrounding tissue or structures. This non-invasive, non-thermal platform can be used to safely, precisely and effectively destroy unwanted tissue throughout the body, reducing patient trauma and healthcare costs.
Key Features of RAST*
*HistoSonics is developing a new procedure called RAST. Related technology is in development and is a work in progress.
The Science
Histotripsy’s Mechanism
Histotripsy uses pulsed sound waves to induce a “bubble cloud” that destroys tissue at the cellular and sub-cellular level. It also allows for visualization in real time, enabling precise tissue destruction.
REVOLUTIONARY ADVANTAGES OF HISTOTRIPSY

NON-INVASIVE
No incisions or needles

NON-THERMAL
Predictable and controllable

UNIQUE
No other technology combines all of these attributes
