Vscan Air™

Wireless handheld ultrasound for critical care

Time is of the essence in the ICU. When it’s easy to quickly see within patients’ bodies, handheld ultrasound helps you to quickly triage patients and make fast clinical decisions by ruling in or out a wide variety of acute conditions for patients.

Clinical Perspectives

How Vscan Air can impact your practice

It should be used as early as possible to detect severe pathology. We want to find patients with relevant pathology, young or elderly, where we can make a difference and have an impact with early diagnosing and then with early treatment.

(…) I would definitely recommend the Vscan Air. It has no cable in infectious settings. It's optimal to clean. In the ICU setting, it's easy to use. It's light. It's handy. I would definitely recommend this portable device.
