Benefits
- Pelvic cutout, leg supports, armboard and carotid
head support faciliatate anatomically/ergonomically correct imaging area1
- 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
- Electric adjustment elimanates pumping and cranking to position patients.
No hydraulics to leak or wear out1.
- Proven faster image acquisition
- Exceeds even the most stringent risk management, biomed and local codes
