Why Choose Sonosite: Durability
Sonosite ultrasound machines are built tough to be used all over the world, from modern hospitals in Mumbai to rural clinics in Western Australia. Sonosite ultrasound machines were originally built for military use, so battle-grade durability was a must. That’s why we drop them, bake them, shake them, and test them under extreme conditions.
SoundCaring
Sonosite SoundCaring and Global Health Humanitarian Programs
For expectant mothers in a rural village, an ultrasound diagnosis can mean the difference between a safe and hazardous delivery. For children suffering from rheumatic heart disease in sub-Saharan Africa or South Asia, an ultrasound diagnosis can lead to life-saving treatment. Because our equipment is uniquely suited for these austere environments, we feel compelled to bring this valuable technology to those who need it most. We continue to be humbled and thrilled by the stories recipients tell us of how our systems are impacting their communities.
Our SoundCaring and other Global Health humanitarian programs make Sonosite hand-carried ultrasound systems available to those working in remote, low-income communities with little or no access to necessary medical equipment.
