Portable systems give staff the edge

Consultant interventional radiologist Dr Richard McWilliams with a SonoSite Edge.

The Royal Liverpool University Hospital’s interventional radiology department has invested in two SonoSite Edge hand-carried ultrasound systems.

Consultant interventional radiologist Dr Richard McWilliams said: “SonoSite is very keen on training and education so, when we sought a commercial partner to provide courses for the use of ultrasound for venous access, a natural partnership developed.  I have been using SonoSite ultrasound systems for over 10 years, and have seen progressive improvements in image quality, as well as other aspects, of the instruments.

“The Edge offers an ultrasound system that is highly portable without sacrificing image quality, allowing it to be used in many different clinical scenarios.”
