Sonex Health
Rochester, Minn.
Founded: 2014
Sonex Health is the developer of the SX-One MicroKnife with Meerkat Technology. It treats carpal tunnel syndrome in a novel fashion that allows carpal tunnel release — a procedure that once took place in an operating room — to instead be performed in a surgery center or office setting. The result, according to the company, is faster patient recovery and reduced costs — an important argument given the rising importance of “value” in the healthcare industry.
