Point-of-care ultrasound

ViSurg is an authorised distributor for Konica Minolta Healthcare and supplies its SONIMAGE hand-carried ultrasound systems for anaesthesia, critical care and musculoskeletal work. The models here are the SONIMAGE HS2 and the smaller SONIMAGE MX1, which inherits the HS2 imaging technology in a lighter unit.

The HS2 pairs tissue harmonic imaging and noise reduction with Simple Needle Visualization for in-plane and out-of-plane approaches, automated Doppler measurement of vessels, touch and voice control, on-screen annotation and direct recording, suiting theatre and bedside use. The MX1 keeps the needle visualisation, adds a cradle mount so it can be carried without unplugging, and offers customisable touchscreen shortcuts and a multi-parameter adjuster to speed up set-up between blocks. Applications are nerve block guidance, vascular assessment and access, and musculoskeletal imaging, serving Anaesthesia and critical care departments, including anaesthesiology and the intensive care unit, and Orthopaedics and trauma services.

As a supplier of point-of-care ultrasound to hospitals and medical colleges, ViSurg supplies and services these units across Karnataka, Maharashtra and Goa from the nearest branch, which handles demonstration, installation, training and after-sales support. Pricing is confirmed on enquiry.
