About Somanetics

Somanetics develops and markets the INVOS(R) Cerebral Oximeter, which occupies a unique position in U.S. hospitals as the only commercially available monitoring system that noninvasively and continuously monitors changes in a patient’s regional brain blood oxygen saturation. Use of the INVOS Cerebral Oximeter helps medical professionals, such as surgeons and anesthesiologists, identify regional brain blood oxygen imbalances and take corrective action. Such action can prevent or reduce neurological injuries related to adverse events during surgery or in the critical care unit and reduce the associated cost of care. The device is used in situations where there is a high risk of brain oxygen imbalances, such as adult and pediatric cardiac surgeries, other major surgeries involving elderly patients and some intensive care unit applications. Somanetics also markets the CorRestore(R) System, a cardiac implant used in cardiac repair and reconstruction, including an operation called Surgical Ventricular Restoration, or SVR, a surgical treatment for patients with certain types of severe congestive heart failure.
