Sonata System Offers Innovative Incision-Free Fibroid Treatment Option For Women Suffering from Symptomatic Uterine Fibroids
Redwood City, Calif., September 22, 2020 – Gynesonics®, a women’s healthcare company focused on the development of minimally invasive solutions for symptomatic uterine fibroids, announced today its Sonata® System will be offered by surgeons at Mount Sinai Health System to women in New York City. Mount Sinai is the first center in Manhattan to offer women this innovative new treatment.
“Our mission is to provide our patients with the latest medical advances that deliver exceptional results and have a positive impact for each individual,” said Charles Ascher-Walsh, M.D., Director of the Division of Gynecology at the Mount Sinai Health System. “We are excited to expand options for women with the addition of the Sonata System, enabling us to offer the latest innovations in gynecological care and treatment for women who are living with symptomatic uterine fibroids – those that cause heavy menstrual bleeding. Women who would otherwise have to undergo invasive surgical procedures can be treated without incisions, with the expectation of superior clinical results, and with an extremely fast return to normal daily activities.”
The Sonata System integrates the first and only intrauterine ultrasound system with a proprietary advanced radiofrequency ablation device, providing an incision-free, uterus-preserving, transcervical treatment for symptomatic uterine fibroids. Robust clinical evidence supporting the safety and effectiveness of the Sonata System demonstrates that nearly 90 percent of women showed a reduction in menstrual bleeding at three months and 95 percent had a reduction at 12 months. Additionally, more than 50 percent of women return to normal activities the next day.
“Mount Sinai is acclaimed for its excellence in research, education and patient care. We believe the substantial published evidence supporting the safety and long term, durable benefits achieved with the Sonata treatment can help transform the lives of women that suffer from symptomatic uterine fibroids,” said Chris Owens, CEO of Gynesonics.
