10 Reasons I love my wireless probe
- We are the only children’s service in the UK to be using one.
- Everyone is jealous they don’t have one
- Have a truly sterile probe for the first time for percutaneous line insertion (hickman line, portacath, PICC line)
- Its pretty
- The definition for vascular access is incredible and provides excellent images even on the tiniest babies.
- Over 150 patients have benefitted from the technology to provide rapid high definition ultrasound for their vascular access
- Range of ages 1 day old to 19 years
- Range of weight 800g to 98kg
- 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.
- It’s 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.
