HistoSonics is a commercial-stage medtech company advancing the Edison® System, a novel non-invasive sonic beam therapy based on histotripsy. Since receiving FDA De Novo grant for the non-invasive destruction of liver tumors in 2023, the company has progressed beyond initial market entry into commercial expansion, reimbursement momentum, and ongoing clinical and pipeline development. In addition to its current liver tumor indication, HistoSonics is pursuing future indications across multiple applications including kidney, pancreas, prostate, neuro, women’s health, and other significant underserved human health areas, to realize the broader potential histotripsy across multiple disease states and medical specialties.
We offer an exciting work culture where cutting-edge science meets real-world application, and each team member’s contribution is important to our success in ensuring our physicians and their patients get what they need most.

What We Do
HistoSonics is a growth phase company developing a non-invasive sonic beam therapy platform and procedure using the science of histotripsy. Histotripsy utilizes the pressure created by focused sound energy to liquefy and destroy targeted tissue, including diseased tissue and tumors, at sub-cellular levels. The company’s new platform delivers personalized, tissue specific treatments with precision and control, and without the undesirable side effects of many of today’s interventional and surgical modalities. HistoSonics is led by a team of experienced domain experts and industry leaders with offices in Ann Arbor, MI, Madison, WI, and Minneapolis, MN.
