Bladder Scanner Purchases

ER & Acute Care to benefit from a small but powerful device

A bladder scanner is an essential tool in a hospital for non-invasive assessment and management of urinary retention and other bladder-related issues. This portable ultrasound device provides real-time, accurate measurements of bladder volume, helping healthcare providers diagnose conditions such as urinary retention, post-operative complications, and bladder dysfunction without the need for invasive catheterization. Using a bladder scanner reduces the risk of urinary tract infections associated with catheter use, enhances patient comfort, and speeds up the diagnostic process. It is particularly useful in various departments, including urology, geriatrics, and post-surgical care, where timely and accurate evaluation of bladder function is crucial for effective patient management and treatment planning.


All donations made to the Olds Healthcare Fundraising Committee goes toward various healthcare categories in the highest priority order AND all of these tools are proudly used to assuring quality healthcare, close to home, for generations to come, funded by HEROES of healthcare.
