Portable Ultrasound

[Onkar Singh]

Hi All

I'm currently looking into portable/hand held ultrasound device to help clinical staff with cannulating fistula's and grafts.

I just wanted to find out what devices are in use/available for such purposes.

Kind regards,

Onkar

Hi Onkar,
See below from our access nurse:

Hi Chris
We are currently looking at purchasing the Philips Lumify portable ultrasound. There is also another one called the butterfly hand held ultrasound.
We currently use the U-lite (i am not sure if this is still around now), however quite old and not that reliable.

Hope this helps

Hi Onkar,

I know we used the Sonosite previously but not sure this is still true.
