SonoSite, Inc. (NASDAQ:SONO), the world leader and specialist in
point-of-care, hand-carried ultrasound, said today that its new
S-Nerve� ultrasound tool has received a design award from the
prestigious International Forum (iF) in the Health+Care category.
An international jury evaluated 2,771 entries based on design,
functionality, esthetics, innovation, workmanship and choice of
materials. The S-Nerve tool, part of SonoSite�s recently introduced
S Series� product line, is custom designed to support the
visualization needs of anesthesiologists performing regional
anesthesia. Its breakthrough image quality, speed and simplicity
were designed with input from leading practitioners who expressed a
substantive need for a small, high-performance tool designed to
function exclusively for guidance of regional nerve blocks and
central line placement. Like other products in SonoSite�s S Series
line, the S-Nerve device is a radically new concept in ultrasound
unlike anything else in the marketplace and offers the option of a
�zero� footprint. It can be mounted on a wall, the ceiling or on a
pole by the patient�s bedside. �Very sleek! It reminds me of Bang
& Olufsen,� commented Dr. Ian Harper, Consultant in Anesthesia,
Wansbeck Hospital, Northumberland, England. �The vertical
orientation and mounting of the machine is a logistical
improvement. Space can be at a premium in an anesthetic room during
a hectic day. Whoever designed this product got it exactly right.�
�We are particularly happy that our S-Nerve product is not only
valued by physicians for its usefulness, but that is has been
recognized by the jury for its beautiful design,� said Dieter
Schwartmann, Vice President, SonoSite Europe. �S-Nerve excels as a
result of its outstanding innovation in performance, design and
user interface that facilitates physicians placing nerve blocks
quickly and accurately.� The S-Nerve ultrasound tool will be on
display with other award-winning products at the International
Congress Center in Hannover, Germany, until August 31, 2008. About
