Caresono HD2 Bladder Scanner

As a handheld, portable “pistol”-style scanner, this Caresono HD2 Bladder Scanner helps assess urinary retention and post-operative urinary retention (POUR) and prevents unnecessary catheterisation.

Additionally, it reduces rates of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI), helps evaluate the need to catheterise during intermittent catheterisation, and improves the efficiency of health care professionals, reducing costs and saving staff time.

All of this helps to improve the welfare and satisfaction of patients and aged-care customers.

What is a bladder scanner?

A bladder scanner is a non-invasive, portable ultrasound device that provides a virtual 3D image of the bladder and the volume of urine retained within the bladder. Retained urine is a reservoir for bacteria and pathogens, which can cause urinary tract infections, leading to damage of the renal structures, pain, and sepsis.
