Two Bladder Scanners, Built Around How You Work
Both the Vitascan cVue and Vitascan eVue Bladder Scanners share the same accurate BladderVue™ scanning technology. The difference is in how they’re built to move (or stay put) with your team.
Vitacon Vitascan cVue Bladder Scanner with Mobile Cart
Built for hospital wards and departments. The cVue mounts on its own mobile cart, ready to wheel straight to the bedside, with an on-cart printer option and barcode scanner available. It suits teams who want one scanner that stays on the ward or department, always ready for the next patient.
Vitacon Vitascan eVue Bladder Scanner
Designed for teams on the move. The eVue is a fully portable, standalone scanner that packs into its own carrying case with a shoulder strap, making it a strong fit for community and district nursing teams, care homes, and home visiting services who need accurate bladder scanning wherever the patient is. At 1.77kg for the console, it’s light enough to carry between visits, with an embedded printer, extended battery life, and an optional barcode scanner.
