Choosing the Right Bladder Scanner for Your hospital

Bladder scanning is essential in urology and across various healthcare fields for providing accurate, non-invasive assessments of urinary retention and other urological conditions. However, selecting the right scanner to meet your specific needs is equally critical to ensure efficient workflows and enhanced patient outcomes. As the exclusive UK distributor of Vitacon products, we’re excited to present the Vitascan cVue and Vitascan eVue, two high-quality bladder scanners designed to fit a range of healthcare settings. Here, we’ll explore the unique features of each model to help you make an informed choice.

Understanding the Differences: Vitascan cVue vs. eVue

Both the Vitascan cVue and eVue are equipped with Vitacon’s leading-edge BladderVue™ detection technology, which provides accurate, gender-neutral bladder volume readings. This feature ensures that readings are not affected by anatomical variations, such as those from the prostate or uterus, enhancing diagnostic reliability across patient types. However, each model is built to meet distinct needs:

Vitascan cVue

The Vitascan cVue is ideal for hospital environments requiring high patient turnover and efficient bed-to-bed services. It is designed with a mobile cart that offers a robust, portable solution that can be moved easily between patient rooms, streamlining operations in busy clinical settings. The device has optional attachments including a barcode scanner and thermal printer making this a versatile choice for hospital use, allowing for quick scanning, patient data capture, and on-the-spot printing for immediate patient records or bedside diagnostics.

Vitascan eVue

Tailored for mobile healthcare needs, the eVue offers a standalone, compact design that fits neatly into a carry case with a handle. Its portability makes it ideal for home healthcare, geriatric care, and remote clinics, where flexibility and ease of transportation are essential.
The integrated printer on the eVue allows for immediate, on-the-spot documentation, eliminating the need for additional devices or setups. Plus, its extended battery life ensures uninterrupted use in mobile settings.
