Engineered with new state-of-the-art technology, the EDGE ultrasound system from SONOSITE is said to take point-of-care ultrasound to a new level of clinical performance, enabling physicians to deliver high standards of patient care by driving greater efficiencies and the potential for improved outcomes in the hospital and clinic.
For improved detail and contrast resolution, the ultrasound system incorporates new proprietary imaging algorithms designed to reduce speckle noise. The system also features a high luminance LED, high-resolution 12-inch display, making the ultrasound image easier to see from across a bed during procedures. The system also features an easy to clean sealed silicone keypad – helping in the fight to reduce the spread of hospital infections. The EDGE ultrasound system and transducers have passed the company’s durability standard – a one metre drop test. With its highly integrated architecture, magnesium shell and new aluminum core, the EDGE system can withstand harsh and demanding clinical environments. It also weighs less than 4.5 kg and includes a five-year warranty.
