Sonosemi

Sonosemi, founded in April 2020 and headquartered in Shenzhen, China, is a medical device manufacturer focused on the cardiovascular clinical field. The company was co-founded by Mr. Bin Liu, who also serves as the CEO. Sonosemi's mission is to develop and commercialize pan-vascular precision diagnosis and treatment solutions.

The company operates in the therapeutic devices and medical supplies industries, developing active treatment devices and diagnostic catheters. Its product portfolio includes a coronary intravascular shock wave therapy system, a peripheral arterial intravascular shock wave therapy system, a cardiac intracavitary ultrasound imaging system, and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). These products are designed to address pan-vascular diseases, with a notable focus on shockwave lithotripsy technology to treat calcified arterial lesions. The self-developed coronary shockwave lithotripsy system, a first of its kind in China, has entered clinical enrollment and features a shockwave coronary balloon catheter and an internal shockwave therapy device.

Sonosemi's business model revolves around the in-house research, development, manufacturing, and sales of these specialized medical devices. The company has established a robust R&D team with experience from well-known medical device and ICT companies, covering fields like biomaterials and electronic engineering. This has enabled them to build an integrated platform for diagnosis and treatment centered around ultrasound technology and medical transducers. As a privately held, venture capital-backed firm, Sonosemi has secured significant funding to fuel its growth and product development. It has successfully completed multiple funding rounds, including a Series B in August 2023 that raised over $27 million. This capital is allocated towards R&D, production, and the commercialization of its solutions.

The company serves the global medical market, with a strategy that includes actively filing for international patents and advancing overseas clinical registration programs to target the international market. Sonosemi has applied for over 70 patents and more than 20 integrated circuit layout design registration certificates, positioning itself as a key player against established international medical device giants. Key investors include prominent firms such as Tencent Investment, Eight Roads Capital, Yuexiu Industrial Fund, and CCB Equity.
