Cardiac imaging needs the patient turned onto their left side with the transducer able to reach under the ribs. This two section couch has dual cut outs in the mattress that open manually and lock in place, giving that access without the patient having to hang off the edge of a table.
Who it suits
It suits echo, cardiology and general practice rooms running a mixed list. The height adjusts electrically through a foot switch, so a sonographer keeps both hands free and can bring the patient down low for a safe step on, then back up to a working height that does not wreck their shoulders. The backrest is powered as well, which matters for anyone short of breath lying flat.
The upholstery is heavy duty vinyl with sewn edges over dense foam, so it wipes down between patients and holds its shape under a full list. Central locking castors move the couch when a room has to be reconfigured. It arrives ready to use with no assembly.
