Fujifilm Sonosite Unveils Ultra-High Frequency Transducer for Point-of-Care Ultrasound

Fujifilm Sonosite has launched the UHF46-20 Transducer, which may significantly enhance point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) imaging of small structures (less than 1 mm) underneath the skin.

Noting that the UHF46-20 Transducer is the only 46MHz ultra-high frequency (UHF) transducer available with POCUS, Fujifilm Sonsite said the transducer provides high-quality resolution for superficial nerves and vessels.

Available exclusively on the Fujifilm Sonosite LX POCUS platform, the UHF46-20 Transducer may facilitate enhanced resolution for superficial submillimeter anatomy in neonatal applications as well as improved visualization of subclinical synovitis, erosions and crystal deposits that can aid in rheumatology assessments, according to Fujifilm Sonosite.

“We’re proud to bring to market the UHF46-20 Transducer as the first and only 46MHz UHF transducer in POCUS to provide clinicians with an unparalleled tool that may help them enhance diagnostic confidence and procedural accuracy,” noted Richard Fabian, the president and chief executive officer for Fujifilm Sonosite.
