Sonosite

Laptop-sized ultrasound yields high-quality images with speed and reliability. The Sonosite has extended the capabilities of portable sonography by adding high-performance features, such as improved imaging that provides cart-based image resolution in a handheld device. Sonosite also is impressive under pressure, going from the off position to scanning in just 15 seconds. Thanks to extensive quality controls, including "drop tests," the Sonosite helps ensure a high standard of reliability and durability.

The Sonosite offers a wide range of transducers for use in multiple clinical applications. It has proved to be beneficial in the following clinical applications:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Echocardiography
  • Musculoskeletal
  • Surgery/Interventional
  • Critical Care
  • Emergency Medicine
  • Obstetrics & Gynecology
  • Vascular
