Business Wire
SonoSite, Inc. (Nasdaq:SONO), the world leader and specialist in
hand-carried ultrasound for the point-of-care, introduced today the
S-GYN� ultrasound tool, a streamlined, custom-designed solution for
gynecologists who want to perform imaging for diagnosis and
procedural guidance right in the patient exam room. �I have two
great big machines in my office, but for a lot of what I�m doing in
my day-to-day practice, such as evaluating abnormal bleeding,
checking the ovaries or uterine structures for polyps or fibroids -
I can do all that with the S-GYN without having to move my patient
out of the exam room,� said Shaunie Keys, MD of Evergreen Women's
Care, in Kirkland, WA. �A big advantage of the S-GYN system is its
portability and that I don�t have to disrupt work flow by shuffling
patients to different rooms or interrupt my ultrasound tech's
schedule. It�s easy to learn and provides really good imaging. My
patients feel more confident knowing that I will complete the
ultrasound exam and they will have their results before leaving the
office.� SonoSite has engineered the S-GYN system to enable
gynecologists to provide answers to their patients quickly. It
integrates SonoSite�s proprietary SonoHD� and SonoMB� technologies
to provide crystal clear imaging of common gynecologic problems and
to guide interventional procedures. With SonoSite�s SonoAdapt�
technology, the clinician need only adjust two controls � Depth and
Gain - to quickly acquire the optimum image. The small footprint of
the S-GYN fits easily beside the patient examining table and it can
be ceiling or wall mounted to save critical space in a cramped
setting. The S-GYN tool is configured to use the C60x abdominal and
ICTx transvaginal transducers and comes with SonoSite�s
industry-leading 5-year warranty, which covers the system and
transducers and eliminates the need for costly annual service
contracts. SonoSite also offers extensive training and education
programs delivered on site, online and in collaboration with
leading medical institutions and educators. The company plans to
begin customer shipments before year-end. The S-GYN system joins
the family of other S Series� systems including: the S-Nerve� for
anesthesiologists, the S-Cath� for interventionalists, the S-ICU�
for intensivists, the S-FAST� for emergency medicine physicians and
S-MSK� for musculoskeletal specialists. About SonoSite SonoSite,
