Graf’s cradle (Rapid-Eco and Eco-Support) Ultrasound Positioning Device with arm guide for ultrasound probes - Medical speciality : medical sonographer/doctors (orthopedists, pediatricians)/nurses Rapid-Eco is the ultrasound positioning device which is designed to hold and position a newborn baby quickly and efficiently for a scan. On this piece of equipment the newborn is kept firmly still and in the correct position without needing the assistance of a third person, this is because the pressure from both sides of the equipment blocks the movement of the baby with a pressure which is in proportion to the baby’s weight and hence the doctor is able to carry on the medical examination in a quick and precise way. Rapid-Eco is washable and made from materials of advanced technology. The Rapid-Eco gives doctors an easier and quicker way of working. Eco-Support is the arm guide for ultrasound probes is made of steel and is fixed to the base of the Rapid-Eco. During the scan, the doctor is able to observe and analyse the data on the monitor, as the Eco-Support allows precise movement and hence avoids errors in the diagnosis. It is strongly recommended to use Graf's cradles for scanning efficiently and delivering a correct diagnosis to patients, as mentioned in the reference manual "ESSENTIALS OF INFANT HIP SONOGRAPHY" (R. Graf, K. Lercher, S. Scott, T. Spieß), p. 25: "To perform quick and accurate scanning, a standard position for the infant and a standard scanning technique are needed. Used in combination with the cradle, the probe guide has proved very effective and facilitates scanning the infant hip, reduces scan time and considerably raising the level of precision. By correctly positioning the infant and using the probe guide system, tilting errors can be virtually eliminated." Both products (Rapid-Eco product code 5000 and Eco-Support product code 5001) can be purchased singularly upon request. DESIGNED, CERTIFIED AND AUTHORIZED BY PROF. RHEINARD GRAF
