The BK Medical 8818 Biplane and Endfire Transducer delivers exceptional imaging quality across transverse, sagittal, and endfire planes, ideal for detailed prostate evaluations but also transvaginal and other transrectal procedures. Switch seamlessly between imaging modes and zones with minimal patient discomfort. Its advanced design ensures precise biopsies and enhances diagnostic capabilities.

Description

The BK Medical 8818 Biplane and Endfire Transducer is an imaging device meticulously engineered for precise and comprehensive prostate evaluations.

This impressive transducer is equipped with advanced triplane imaging capabilities, enabling clinicians to view the prostate in three distinct planes—transverse, sagittal, and endfire. This multi-dimensional approach enhances diagnostic accuracy, providing an unparalleled level of clarity and detail that is essential for effective prostate assessment and biopsy.

The BK Medical 8818 is designed to optimize diagnostic procedures with its versatile imaging options. The triplane imaging system allows for simultaneous visualization of transverse and sagittal planes, while also offering endfire imaging capabilities. This unique feature enables healthcare professionals to seamlessly switch between different imaging modes at the touch of a button, streamlining the biopsy process and improving procedural efficiency. The ability to view the prostate from multiple angles without the need for multiple transducer insertions minimizes patient discomfort and reduces the overall complexity of the procedure.

With a frequency range of 12 to 4 MHz, the 8818 provides high-resolution images that are crucial for accurate diagnosis. The transducer supports an expanded image field of 140°, which is essential for capturing comprehensive views of the prostate. This expanded field ensures that all prostate zones—peripheral, transition, and central—are clearly visible, facilitating precise and targeted biopsies. Whether used for transrectal or transvaginal applications, the 8818's imaging performance is optimized to deliver superior clarity and detail.

The BK Medical 8818 is engineered with both clinician and patient comfort in mind. Its lightweight design (weighing just 230 grams) and compact dimensions (36 x 39 x 323 mm) make it easy to handle and maneuver during procedures. The transducer’s design reduces the need for multiple insertions and adjustments, thus minimizing patient discomfort. Additionally, its user-friendly interface and minimal manipulation requirements enhance procedural efficiency, making the 8818 an invaluable tool in any urological practice.

In addition to its triplane imaging capabilities, the 8818 supports a range of advanced imaging modes, including B-mode, M-mode, Doppler, CFM (Color Flow Mapping), Tissue Harmonic Imaging, and Contrast Imaging. These modes provide detailed insights into various tissue characteristics and blood flow dynamics, further enhancing diagnostic accuracy and versatility.

Maintaining high hygiene standards is crucial in medical imaging, and the BK Medical 8818 is designed with this in mind. It is compatible with STERRAD and STERIS SYSTEM 1 sterilization systems, ensuring that it meets rigorous cleanliness and safety standards. The transducer is also easy to clean, contributing to a streamlined workflow in clinical settings.

The 8818 is available with a variety of accessories tailored to meet diverse clinical needs. This includes reusable and single-use biopsy guides, a perineal needle guide, and 3D imaging support tools. These accessories enhance the transducer’s functionality and adaptability, making it a comprehensive solution for both routine and complex urological procedures.

The BK Medical 8818 Biplane and Endfire Transducer represents a significant advancement in urological, vaginal and rectal imaging technology. Its ability to provide detailed, high-resolution images from multiple planes, combined with its ease of use and comprehensive accessory options, makes it an essential tool for modern urological diagnostics. By delivering exceptional imaging performance and procedural efficiency, the 8818 sets a new standard in the field, ensuring accurate and comfortable assessments for both patients and clinicians.
