Mindray recently announced the launch of the L20-5s ultra-high frequency linear transducer with enhanced iNeedle visualization technology. This transducer technology leverages the firm’s TE7 point-of-care ultrasound system. This recent innovation in ultrasound technology provides exquisite image quality of soft tissues while preserving visualization of needles used in procedures.
This technology is being targeted at anesthesiologists for use in regional nerve blocks and in placement of ultrasound-guided central lines. Mindray is making a push to improve image quality and usability while reducing procedure time for clinicians in high-stress critical applications such operating rooms, interventional suits, and the intensive care unit. It will be interesting to see the adoption of specialized transducer technologies as use of ultrasound expands owing to portability and lack of reliance on ionizing radiation.
