Paris-based medical device maker SuperSonic Imagine hopes to use a $36 million (EUR 20 million) fund-raise to speed global sales and marketing of its "revolutionary" Aixplorer ultrasound imaging system. Paris, France-based medical device maker SuperSonic Imagine aims to use the funds from a $36 million raise to accelerate global sales and marketing efforts, according to a company statement. The company's going to focus much of those efforts in China, one of the world's fastest-growing medical device markets, which some analyst say will reach $1 trillion in value by 2020. The global market is vital to SuperSonic, which last year pulled 80% of its revenue from international sales. Since the company has expanded its focus to market Aixplorer to a more diverse clinical population, the device has really taken off, according to a statement.
