Business Wire
SonoSite, Inc. (NASDAQ:SONO), the world leader and specialist in
hand-carried ultrasound for the point-of-care, introduced today the
S-Women�s Health ultrasound tool. The newest product in SonoSite�s
S Series� product line is an innovative, custom-designed solution
to enable women�s health clinicians to provide comprehensive care
in the patient exam room. It joins the M-OB/Gyn Office� and the
S-Gyn� ultrasound tools as part of SonoSite�s innovative suite of
products for women�s health. �The S-Women�s Health is great to have
in the exam room because if a patient comes in with a lump, I am
able to quickly and easily determine if it is something like
fibrocystic thickening, or if it requires additional evaluations,�
said Deanna J. Attai, MD, FACS, Center for Breast Care in Burbank,
California. �When you consider the quality and affordability of the
system and the fact that you can pick it up and take it to the
operating room, you just can�t get a better tool for your practice
than the S-Women�s Health system.� The S-Women�s Health ultrasound
tool is designed with women�s health clinicians in mind. It is
sophisticated, yet simple and easy to use. Buttons, dials and menus
have been eliminated from the interface, with the exception of two
controls- Depth and Gain- for acquiring the optimum image quality.
SonoSite�s proprietary advanced technologies, SonoHD� and SonoMB�,
are incorporated, providing crystal-clear imaging and enabling the
physician to visualize minute details. With the capacity to zero-in
on a targeted area, SonoSite�s advanced SonoAdapt� technology
enables the clinician to confidently locate masses, target lesions,
guide biopsies, and initiate a course of treatment. �Breast
ultrasound is an extension of the physical exam in any woman with a
palpable breast abnormality. It�has become second nature to use
it,� said Kathryn A. Wagner, MD, PA, Brooke Army Medical Center in
San Antonio, Texas. The S-Women�s Health tool has an award-winning
design and is engineered to be placed on a stand or mounted on an
exam room ceiling or wall to be easily accessible at the examining
table. The system is configured to work with four broadband
transducers to provide high-resolution superficial, abdominal,
vascular and pelvic imaging, allowing physicians to address a wide
spectrum of women�s health concerns. This full functionality is
complemented by SonoSite�s unsurpassed, industry-leading 5-year
warranty, which covers the system and transducers and eliminates
the need for costly annual service contracts. Dr. Attai commented,
�Not only does SonoSite have superior products, but they also have
superior service. The 5-year warranty on their products means that
not only will they repair the system if needed, they will get a
loaner to me the very next morning. I can�t practice without my
ultrasound system, and SonoSite recognizes that.� SonoSite offers
extensive training and education programs delivered on site,
online, and in collaboration with leading medical institutions and
educators. About SonoSite SonoSite, Inc. (www.sonosite.com), is the
