Micro-Invasive Carpal Tunnel Release

Micro-invasive carpal tunnel release (CTR) with the Sonex Health SX-One MicroKnife® and ultrasound guidance is catching the attention of patients and news media. Dr. Joseph McGinley of Wyoming recently captured local newspaper and NBC TV news coverage for performing micro-invasive CTR using a unique Augmented Reality (AR) display technology he developed with the University of Wyoming. The media stories have generated patient interest in the procedure, with more than 15 requests for an appointment received within hours of the first news story.

Patient benefits of micro-invasive CTR include:

• Typical recovery time reduced from weeks or months to 3-5 days
• The ability to conduct the procedure using local anesthesia
• Small incision size (<5mm), typically closed without sutures
• Eliminate or reduce the use of opioids
• Excellent outcomes and patient experience

This is big news for millions of CTS patients, many of whom have put off surgery because they are intimidated by surgery and the long recovery.
