Company Established Background and Ideology

In the field of clinical treatment, utilizing ultrasound technology being developed actively worldwide but the field of therapeutic ultrasound, except for the field of diagnostic ultrasound technology has been limited developed. As a result, domestic therapeutic ultrasound medical devices are lagging behind in very simple functions implemented with the goal of reducing cost through pioneering new technology rather than the theoretical foundations of research, product development, commercialization consists of the technological advances and the development of new products, etc. Technically therapeutic ultrasound equipment is characterized by a very high energy, focusing on the use of ultrasound in most cases. Recently in the abroad have been developed, commercialized one after another by using High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) skin lifting, lipolytic therapy as an innovative, representative as a new treatment products. And Ultrasonic Focusing Techniques by using a special form of ultrasound, shockwave, shockwave crusher and shockwave pain therapy, etc. have been developed in the 1980s and these are being actively used. High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound for theoretical ongoing research in the domestic school being made a long time ago. However, investment in the development of commercially available products based on the theoretical research has not been done. And still almost products are not successfully localized yet. Fortunately KORUST have related technologies using HIFU skin lifting therapy and also successfully localized.

In addition, proprietary, securely important ultrasound technology to achieve is through measurement and analysis the techniques and the design and production of ultrasonic transducer technology. General evaluation of ultrasound technologies have been utilized widely but the technology evaluation of High Intensity Focused Ultrasound is a very difficult process. In particular, the final assessment of treatment with the HIFU equipment to heat changes molding using a tissue phantom evaluation is essential. Phantom of the thermal denaturation is a key technology of securing proprietary technology by using the heat generated by ultrasound to evaluate the performance. KORUST has the technology with the academia of thermal denaturation of the phantom’s commercialization.

KORUST keep developing innovative new products with domestic academic basic research, commercialization of HIFU technology and assessment techniques based on the ultrasonic generator, ultrasonic ceramic transducer, High-intensity Focused Ultrasound technology, focused shock wave technology commercialization in the field of Therapeutic Ultrasound. Also keep promoting the localization of continuous technology development in the field of foreign advanced medical devices not succeed in localizing outside of the field of ultrasound treatment as well.
