UST-5418: A High-End Linear Ultrasound Probe for Intraoperative Diagnostics
The UST-5418 probe by Hitachi stands out as an essential solution for real-time ultrasound diagnostics during surgical procedures. Designed with cutting-edge technology, it meets the needs of healthcare professionals who require optimal precision and reliability in often complex and demanding surgical environments.
The UST-5418 features an electronic linear transducer capable of covering an extended frequency range from 2 MHz to 13 MHz. This feature enables clear and sharp visualization of internal tissues, essential for making accurate diagnoses and minimizing the risk of errors. With a 36 mm field of view, this probe ensures targeted imaging and fine observation of areas of interest. This level of detail is particularly important in situations where every millimeter counts in surgical decision-making.
The probe is designed to offer a smooth user experience. Equipped with a four-direction tilt mechanism (90° up, down, left, and right), it provides exceptional flexibility to adapt to the movements and specific needs of surgeons. The insertion shaft, with a diameter of 10 mm and an effective insertion length of 440 mm, ensures precise control and secure handling. The intuitive control levers allow for quick and accurate adjustments, even in situations where speed is crucial.
The UST-5418 is certified IPX7, ensuring reliable protection against temporary immersion. This feature facilitates cleaning and disinfection while reducing the risk of cross-contamination. Additionally, the probe is compatible with advanced sterilization methods, including EtO gas and the STERRAD® system, meeting the highest hygiene and safety standards.
The UST-5418 probe seamlessly integrates with Hitachi Prosound α7, F75, ARIETTA 70, and ARIETTA 60 ultrasound systems. This compatibility ensures flawless operation and guarantees optimal performance when connected to modern diagnostic equipment.
The UST-5418 probe by Hitachi is a high-performance, durable solution, ideal for demanding surgical environments. By combining cutting-edge technology, ergonomic design, and ease of maintenance, it is an essential tool for healthcare professionals looking to enhance the precision of their procedures.
