Benefits
- Two-way dual drop section lowers for right-handed
sonographers to sit behind patient when scanning or for left-handed sonographers
to use as patient back support for TTEs and TEEs
- Improves on axis imaging
- Protects sonographers from career-ending injuries
by improving procedure ergonomics, which is critical, since
recent studies have revealed that 80% of sonographers are scanning
in pain and 20% of those sonographers eventually experience
a career-ending injury1,2,3
- Sonographer extension provides a wider surface to sit on while scanning;
espcially useful when scanning heavier patients
- Allows for easy access to the apical window through imaging drop-section
- Reduces image acquisition time 30% by eliminating
the need to reposition patient to gain access to the apical window4
