A Bladder scanner is a type of ultrasound device that measures ultrasonic reflections within a patient's body. Its a noninvasive portable tool for diagnosing, managing, and treating a multitude of different medical problems. Soma Tech Intl offers used, demo, and refurbished bladder ultrasounds up to 50% below OEM prices with the same service and warranty as new. Bladder scans help determine the need for catheterization, reduce the unnecessary placement of a urinary catheter, and can also provide quick measurements for postvoid residual (PVR) and/or bladder capacity. Some of the scanners Soma Tech offers can provide 3D images as well as 2D images. These images help aid in the visualization in the placement and removal of catheters.
These units may be used to measure PVR volume and prevent unnecessary catheterization. In doing so, this ultimately leads to fewer UTIs. Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is a common and costly problem for hospitalized patients. Bladder scanners can be used at the bedside to determine the need for costly invasive procedures. These handheld ultrasound devices can perform quick and easy non-invasive scans of the bladder. Bladder scanning is painless and the entire scan only takes a couple of minutes to complete and does not require operation by a sonographer.
