Benefits
- Helps address space constraints by pivoting to accomodate left to right-handed scanning while keeping the ultrasound unit stationary
- 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
- Allows for easy access to the apical window through imaging drop-section
- 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
- Accommodates bariatric patient through its unbeatable weight capacity of
1250 lbs guaranteed by our UL and FDA listing
- Reduces image acquisition time 30% by eliminating the need to reposition
patient to gain access to the apical window4
