Compared to traditional cart-based ultrasound systems, which typically weigh 200 pounds or more, the MicroMaxx hand-carried ultrasound system offers doctors and clinicians greater mobility and flexibility to quickly gather diagnostic information and guide medical interventions at the point of care. It delivers a full range of ultrasound capabilities at image resolutions comparable to traditional systems and features a disarmingly simple user interface. In addition, it is less expensive to manufacture and less expensive to purchase than comparable cart-based systems.
