About
SoundPass Medical provides a novel approach to a multi-century problem in neurosurgery - accurately placing external ventricular drains (EVDs) in neurosurgical emergancies after traumatic brain injury. SoundPass Medical's novel technology features an ultrasound-tipped stylet allowing accurate and safe EVD placements in one attempt. Our novel patented technology allows for real-time 3D imaging as the surgeon places their EVD to save the brain in settings of severe brain swelling. When it comes to your brain, two passes is one too many!
