About Gynesonics
As pioneers in women’s health, Gynesonics is committed to developing and delivering minimally invasive, incision-free, uterus-preserving, transcervical technologies for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Gynesonics’ flagship product, the Sonata System®, is the first FDA-cleared medical device for diagnostic intrauterine imaging and transcervical treatment of symptomatic uterine fibroids, a medical condition affecting roughly 80% of adult women. Prior to the Sonata System, fibroid removal was limited to invasive medical procedures, like a hysterectomy, which carries greater risk and significantly more recovery time.
Sonata’s innovative technology removes fibroids in a roughly 45-minute outpatient procedure with most patients resuming regular activity the next day, representing a significant medical advancement that makes treatment of the condition more accessible.
The Sonata System is CE-marked and is approved for sale in the European Union, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and the United States. For more information on Sonata, visit www.sonatasystem.com. Gynesonics headquarters is in Redwood City, CA. For more information, visit www.gynesonics.com.
