When medical professionals think of hand-carried ultrasound machines, they think of SonoSite—and for good reason. SonoSite is the world leader in developing these types of ultrasound systems. Their lightweight machines are known worldwide for having the same power and performance available in traditionally-sized ultrasound systems. In fact, SonoSite systems have been used in more than 100 countries across the world. SonoSite, Inc. is based in Seattle, WA; however, the company has grown so large that it also has ten subsidiaries in other locations. The need for hand-carried ultrasound equipment has expanded, and SonoSite had expanded to fit that need. Ultrasound machines developed by SonoSite offer exceptional performance, as well as durability—both of which are essential for a hand-carried system. The machines are also very user-friendly, with intuitive interfaces that are easy to learn. SonoSite systems use the latest technology available to provide users with the best quality imaging possible.
