COVER STORY
Interview by Steve Halasey
Medical device executives continually strive to identify new technologies with clinical value and untapped market potential. When they succeed, the result can be a set of market-changing products that offer significant benefits to healthcare professionals and their patients. Sometimes those products even constitute a solid foundation for an entirely new company.
That's certainly been the case for SonoSite Inc. (Bothell, WA), the company that pioneered the development of hand-carried ultrasound devices for clinical applications and has taken a leadership role in developing the markets for such devices. SonoSite's systems rely heavily on the advances in application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) that were initiated during the 1980s and 1990s by its parent company, ATL Ultrasound.
