Bladder Scanners are a common tool used by healthcare professionals to assess bladder volume and prevent catheter-associated urinary tract infections. In fact, they have been proven to reduce CAUTIs and hospitalization costs for patients with urinary tract infection (UTI).

They are a portable ultrasound device that allows healthcare professionals to quickly, easily, and non-invasively scan the bladder to determine how much urine is in the bladder. It also helps identify conditions like a blocked Foley catheter or postoperative complications that may lead to the need for an indwelling urinary catheter later on.

The Bladder Scanners Market was valued at US$ 134.1 Mn in 2021 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.4% from 2022 to 2028 to reach US$ 194.3 Mn.

These ultrasound devices can be used to measure the amount of fluid in the bladder, a condition called “postvoid residual.” This information can help diagnose things like urinary retention or the presence of an enlarged prostate gland. It can even identify certain side effects of medications that may be causing a patient to have an abnormal PVR.

This information is important to nurses as it allows them to prevent unnecessary bladder catheterization that can cause UTIs and hospitalization costs for both the nurse and the patient. They also help to avoid cystoscopy and other invasive procedures that can cause more harm than good.

The Verathon BladderScan BVI 3000 and BVI 9400 are Bladder Scanners that use ultrasound to quickly and easily provide accurate measurements of bladder volume. They come with a control unit, rechargeable battery and an internal sector scanning transducer that can provide twelve scan planes and produce a three-dimensional image of the bladder.

Virtual microscopy, another name for Digital Pathology, is a dynamic, image-based system that makes it possible to gather, organise, and analyse pathology data derived from a digitalized glass slide.

Moreover, it can accurately estimate the amount of urine in a full bladder. However, the accuracy of this measurement may be affected by factors such as a patient’s weight or if they are pregnant or have an ovarian cyst. As a result, clinicians will often discharging patients with empty bladders to avoid the risk of UTIs or other health problems. This procedure can also be a great way to teach patients about bladder care. In June 2021, Verathon, introduced BladderScan i10, a next-generation device in technology of measuring bladder volume.
