FAQ

Clinical ultrasound for midwives

Why use clinical ultrasound in midwifery?
Clinical ultrasound enables midwives to improve patient care by providing a valuable complement to the clinical examination. It facilitates assessment of fetal well-being, monitoring of physiological pregnancy, estimation of amniotic volume, placental localization and confirmation of fetal presentation at the end of pregnancy. Thanks to its key role in prevention and referral, clinical ultrasound enables midwives to gain greater autonomy and optimize patient care.
What are the benefits of clinical ultrasound for the midwife and the patient?
Clinical ultrasound is non-invasive, painless and totally safe for both mother and child. It offers midwives a rapid, reliable means of confirming certain clinical observations and adapting their care accordingly. Whether in a consultation, at home or in the maternity ward, it reinforces the midwife's ability to make an initial diagnosis and refer the patient if necessary. For the mother-to-be, this means smoother care, fewer unnecessary additional tests and more reassuring follow-up directly with her trusted midwife.
Why use an ultraportable probe in midwifery?
Ultra-portable clinical ultrasound probes, such as echOpen O1, are ideal for midwives thanks to their light weight and ease of use. Compact and wireless, they can be easily transported to the practice, home visit or delivery room, offering an immediate solution for local examinations. Connected to a simple smartphone, they can capture and record images and videos for optimal patient follow-up. With the autonomy required for a full day of consultations, they fit perfectly into the daily practice of midwives, giving them greater flexibility and independence in their work.
How much does a portable ultrasound scanner cost?
The price of portable ultrasound scanners varies widely according to brand, model and functionality, generally ranging from €3,000 to over €9,000. The echOpen ultrasound scanner sets itself apart by offering medical-grade imaging technology at a particularly affordable price. With a price tag of less than €1,000, echOpen makes portable ultrasound affordable and easily accessible to the greatest number of healthcare professionals, enabling the rapid and effective democratization of medical imaging within practices and hospital structures.
