NURSING
ultrasound for nurses
Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, and Medical Assistants are continually asked to expand their skills with Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) to improve patient care. By incorporating bedside ultrasound into their scope of practice, the clinical use of this technology will promote current best practices and improve patient outcomes.
COMMON USES OF ULTRASOUND FOR NURSES:
- Bladder Volume
- Peripheral IV Access
- PICC Line Placement
Kosmos Advantages for nurses
The Kosmos ultrasound system will enable nurses to perform high-quality bedside bladder volumes with the latest and most accurate artificial intelligence (AI) on the market and provides a reliable, user-friendly ultrasound device for IV insertion and vascular access. The two probe combination in one ultrasound solution, offers superior image quality and ease-of-use in an affordable package to help nurses master new skills.
Kosmos Bladder
The Most Accurate on the Market
The ONLY Bladder scanner to have two pathways for pre and post void bladder volumes with clinically validated accuracy for increased confidence. Kosmos Bladder provides real-time guidance and AI that automatically drops calipers at the largest section of the bladder.
Reliability You Can Count On
Kosmos is made in the USA with quality you can trust. Backed by a robust 5-year warranty, our military-grade transducers can withstand 1m drops and extreme environmental conditions. Kosmos is compatible with an extensive list of chemicals for disinfection.
