Next-generation pocket-sized probes that connect to smartphones and tablets
Pocket-sized probes that turn a smartphone or tablet into an ultrasound. The most affordable entry into point-of-care imaging — ideal for mobile practitioners and first scans.
Apply with this deviceHandheld ultrasound turns the smartphone or tablet a clinician already carries into an imaging system: a pocket-sized probe connects by USB or Wi-Fi, and an app provides the controls, presets and measurements. It is the most affordable and most portable entry into diagnostic imaging — the class that lets a single practitioner, a small clinic or a mobile team start scanning this month rather than after a major capital investment.
Modern handhelds are serious clinical tools, not toys: single-probe whole-body designs, dual-headed probes and wireless models now offer Colour Doppler, obstetric measurement packages and cloud image sharing. Their natural home is the first examination — antenatal checks, bedside triage, outreach screening — with clear referral pathways for findings that need a formal study. Combined with tele-ultrasound, a handheld also becomes a training and supervision tool: a remote senior can watch a junior's live scan and guide probe placement in real time.
Antenatal screening
Pregnancy confirmation, foetal heart activity, position, and basic biometry with app-based OB measurement tools.
Bedside triage screening
Free-fluid checks, bladder volume, gross cardiac activity and lung views — the focused questions of POCUS, anywhere.
Vascular access guidance
Real-time needle guidance for difficult IV lines — one of the fastest returns on a handheld investment.
Soft tissue & MSK checks
Abscess versus cellulitis, effusions, and basic MSK evaluation with the linear array.
Home visits & outreach
A full imaging capability in a coat pocket for community programmes, camps and house calls.
Teaching & supervised practice
Cloud clips and live tele-ultrasound let seniors review or supervise scans remotely — ideal for building staff skills.
First-line referral filtering
Decide who truly needs a formal ultrasound or hospital referral, and attach saved images to the referral.
Probe coverage that matches your caseload
Whole-body single probes and dual-headed designs cover the most ground; otherwise choose the array (curved / linear / phased) that matches the clinic's main work.
Colour Doppler and M-mode
Even at this size, Doppler for vessels and M-mode for foetal heart rate separate a clinical tool from a viewer.
OB measurement package
For antenatal use, in-app CRL/BPD and GA/EDD calculation is essential — screening without dating is half an answer.
Battery through a session
Roughly 1–2 hours of continuous scanning plus practical recharging (wireless or fast USB) between patients.
Durability & disinfection
Drop resistance and an IP-rated, wipe-down (ideally submersible) body — a pocket device lives a hard life.
Compatible mobile devices
Check iOS/Android compatibility and plan the phone or tablet as part of the purchase, not an afterthought.
Cloud storage & tele-ultrasound
Secure image storage, sharing for referrals, and live scan-sharing for remote supervision multiply the device's value.
Simple, preset-driven app
One-tap presets and automatic optimisation keep the workflow accessible for nurses, midwives and clinical officers.
