Sonosite launches ultrasound systems in Lucknow

Sonosite on Monday launched its hand-carried portable ultrasound systems in Lucknow.

The product range includes: MicroMaxx, Titan, 180 Plus and iLook. The Titan model with single probe is priced at Rs 8.5 lakh, and the MicroMaxx costs Rs 17 lakh.

With its headquarters in United States, Sonosite was introduced ten months ago in India. The Sonosite systems are available in India through their distributor, United Medical Instruments (UMI).

"The Indian health market is one of the most dynamic and rapidly growing markets in the world. Our systems weigh only 3.5 kg with a minimal boot up time of ten seconds making it even more useful in emergency situations," Pavan Behl-country manager (Sonosite) told Business Standard.

The products are helpful in latest areas of surgery and vascular access procedures along with traditional areas like radiology, cardiology, vascular medicine and obstetrics and gynaecology.

The company has already introduced its products in Punjab and Haryana and will be heading towards Varanasi as a part of their Uttar Pradesh launch campaign.

Sonosite has installed about 25, 000 systems over 75 countries world-wide.
