TRAUMA AND A&E
“We used the abdominal probe for a FAST scan and it was perfect to do full thoracic and abdominal ultrasound in a matter of seconds for each patient. It allowed us to examine a full clinic of 30 people in a short space of time. In countries without the economic resources to offer full services the ultrasound equipment can often be stuck in a corner gathering dust so this equipment is excellent for practical use.”
VASCULAR SURGERY
“Ballater Medical introduced us to their exciting and innovative wireless ultrasound technology and played a pivotal role in the creation of Venous Access Made Easy. Their unique and pioneering technology is enhancing the delivery of vascular access at the point of care, and is set to make dramatic and sustained improvements to clinical care and patient experience on an international scale. Ballater Medical truly is at the forefront of medical innovation and I believe this new technology will play a key role in the 21st century ‘vascular access for all’ revolution.”

10 Reasons I love my wireless probe
1) We are the only children’s service in the UK to be using one.
2) Everyone is jealous they don’t have one
3) Have a truly sterile probe for the first time for percutaneous line insertion (hickman line, portacath, PICC line)
4) Its pretty
5) The definition for vascular access is incredible and provides excellent images even on the tiniest babies.
6) Over 150 patients have benefitted from the technology to provide rapid high definition ultrasound for their vascular access
7) Range of ages 1 day old to 19 years
8) Range of weight 800g to 98kg
9) Ergonomically is so much better. Being able to place the screen under a clear sterile drape in line with your probe is ideal and completely novel with wireless tech.
10) Its really patient centred, and for children who are often frightened and anxious, having technology which is hand held and not on a big machine is really reassuring.
