In fact, ultrasound technology has long been known to the public. For example, common B-ultrasound is the application of ultrasound technology in disease detection and diagnosis. However, high-intensity focused ultrasound technology is a new growth point in the field of non-invasive surgery. It uses the physical properties of ultrasound such as directionality, focusability and penetration, and focuses on the diseased tissue in the body through a focusing transducer, so that the target tissue undergoes irreversible coagulative necrosis due to protein denaturation, thereby achieving the purpose of non-invasive treatment.
In the field of pet medicine, especially for those surgical diseases that may seriously affect the quality of life, focused ultrasound technology has also shown great potential. Taking pet tumor treatment as an example, veterinary clinical trials have shown that for soft tissue sarcoma, oral tumors and osteosarcoma, focused ultrasound treatment is not only easy for pet owners to accept, but also very effective. In addition, current research is also exploring the therapeutic effect of focused ultrasound on other types of invasive cancers, including bladder cancer, brain cancer and liver cancer.
This is because standard care requires invasive surgery, which often brings serious post-treatment problems, including wound care, infection, pain management and self-mutilation. Compared with traditional minimally invasive techniques such as surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, microwave and cryoablation, high-intensity focused ultrasound technology can accurately apply ultrasound energy to tumor tissue, achieving a treatment process without surgery, bleeding, sutures and hospitalization, significantly reducing the burden on the pet's body.
This technology not only has the advantages of green, low radiation and repeatable treatment, but also has lower treatment costs and economic pressure on pet owners, which helps to continuously control tumors. Therefore, it may become an ideal and mainstream choice for pet tumor treatment in the future. It should be noted that focused ultrasound technology is now also used in emergency veterinary treatments such as cat urethral stones, and it also shows a wide range of application prospects.
From the perspective of the pet industry, HIFU high-intensity focused ultrasound technology has been further expanded to the field of pet medicine on the basis of its recognized effectiveness in the field of human health.
However, HIFU high-intensity focused ultrasound technology has a relatively more diverse development direction. It can be used as a new independent treatment method or as a technology that can enhance the therapeutic effect of existing drugs. And thanks to the mutual confirmation of this technology in the fields of humans and companion animals, it is expected to further promote the innovation and development of this technology.
At present, there is still a clear gap in this segment in China, with no clear market leader and few players. It may become the next hot spot for players in the pet medical track. As for the actual market trend, the pet industry will continue to pay attention.
