Ultrasound

Company: SonoSite Systems

CDr Mukund Joshi
Chief Consultant
Sonography Department
Jaslok Hospital, Mumbai

SonoSite systems are small but are power packed. It's small and can be carried easily and can perform everything that a big cart-based system can perform. We were very happy with the versatility and image quality of that system for the vast majority of our portable workload, and since then, use of point-of-care ultrasound has dramatically expanded in the hospital. Point-of-care ultrasound complements the traditional radiology services. Besides, routine scanning performed throughout the hospital by resident staff, we also use point-of-care ultrasound for specific applications and situations. We are using this machine primarily for intra-operative procedure especially for liver and kidney transplant.

KEM hospital & Jehagir Apollo hospital, Pune

We have been using SonoSite system regularly in our NICU, CCU and ICU. I feel we have been very well rewarded when it comes to versatility & diagnostic ultrasound. I would like to make a special mention to its use in NICUs which has made our job much simpler since the system can be carried to babies bedside directly which has made our work more interesting. I feel SonoSite systems are excellent state of art equipments for versatile applications.

It's a high value for money system which gives high end diagnostic image quality. The system can perform all radiological examinations including vascular imaging- arterial and venous line placement, guided for biopsies, small part examinations like scrotal, thyroid, MSK. Since the system is truly portable and rugged, it can be used in intensive units, bedside examinations of critically ill patients where quick diagnosis with high image quality is required. Also system can be used for operations due to the availability of Intra-operative probes.

I would like to call SonoSite's system as the Little Genie with Sumo Potential. The system has exceptional high-end image quality in ultra portable units comparable to big-cart based systems and has a range of transducers for different procedures. It is a high value for money with 5 years of Warranty. The system can provide instant answers when time is of the essence, such as in emergency and critical care medicine and various other clinical diagnostic purposes.

Dr Hemant Pakhale
Private Practitioner, Mumbai

SonoSite's M-Tourbo hand-carried ultrasound system is a powerful front-line medical tool. The systems are extremely useful in emergency trauma, ICU, CCUs, intra operative of all head to toe surgeries, pain clinics, nerve blocks, obstetrics, labour rooms/OTs and vascular applications. The system is sturdy, portable, user friendly, and has a quick boot-up.
