Akoya Medical

Akoya Medical was founded with a clear purpose: to improve patient comfort, safety, and experience during interventional breast procedures. Through extensive observation and collaboration with clinical teams, we identified a consistent and often overlooked contributor to patient distress — visual exposure during needle-based procedures.

Vasovagal syncope is a well-recognized response that can disrupt workflow, compromise patient safety, and increase procedural complexity. Akoya Medical set out to address this challenge with a simple, effective solution.

Our patented eyewear is designed to block the lower field of vision, reducing visual stimuli that may trigger anxiety or vasovagal reactions. By limiting what patients see during biopsy and localization procedures, the eyewear supports a calmer, more controlled environment for both patients and clinical staff.

At Akoya Medical, our focus is on creating thoughtful, patient-centered tools that enhance the clinical experience. We are committed to supporting improved outcomes, smoother workflows, and a more positive experience for every patient undergoing interventional breast care.
