The RAP device uses electrohydraulics to generate the designed acoustic shockwaves at a rate of up to 100 per second to effectively target differences in density at the cellular level. The high repetition rate of Soliton shockwaves is a key component of our patent-pending technology. The proprietary nature of our technology is supported by eight patent families and over 100 patents issued or pending.

About Soliton, Inc.
Soliton, Inc. is a medical device company with a novel and proprietary platform technology licensed from MD Anderson.
