Reliable diagnosis of congenital dysplasia of the hip using the new standard in ultrasonic examinations
With the classical fi xation unit a guidance for the ultrasonic head cannot be attached and cannot be considered uptodate examination practice. Therefore, the SonoFirst was developed. The SonoFirst optimizes the fixation of the baby clearly and the quality improvements of the ultrasonic hip examination due to the forced guidance of the ultrasonic head are striking.

The product
The advantages of SonoFirst
The SonoFirst sets new standards as an ultrasonic sound assistance for the hip sonography and proved to be indispensable for the early diagnosis of hip dysplasia.
SonoFirst – simply well done
With the SonoFirst the baby’s hip is gently and securely fixed in an absolutely perpendicular position by the well adjustable wedging mechanism. This mechanism permits to bring it all baby hips simply and reliably into the correct position. The guidance of the ultrasonic head is precise and easy at the springy guidance of the ultrasonic head, tilting is impossible. Depending upon application need the hinge can be mounted in one of the three points of adjustment. Likewise a practical holder for the ultrasonic gel was attached. All parts are high-quality and easily dismantled for cleaning. The fixation unit has a handy size and is practical thereby in application. The SonoFirst conforms to CE regulations.
Guiding the ultrasonic head’s way
The sonography of the baby’s hip according to Prof. MD Reinhold Graf cannot be excluded from today’s the paediatrics / paediatric orthopaedics no more. This method develops itself further continuously. Ultrasonic units with increased resolution, better fixation units and optimized therapies improved the outcome of hip dysplasia enormously. Nevertheless, error is still prone. Lately users became aware of the danger of false diagnoses due to tilting errors. This means that due to handling errors the hips are not correctly diagnosed. An optimized fixation of the child according to Prof. MD Reinhold Graf and the new ultrasonic head guidance are to tackling this problem. The forced guidance of ultrasonic sound head is meanwhile considered the standard of hip sonography!
Better diagnoses
The employment of the SonoFirst is in the foremost interest of all. The hip sonography is improved by the SonoFirst. False diagnoses due to tilting errors are practically impossible. The time required for the examination and thus the stress load of the baby is clearly smaller. The forced ultrasonic sound head guidance limits explicitly the movements of the examiner and reaching thereby the crucial improvements of the image quality. The SonoFirst in the new standard for hip sonography and is therefore used paediatric clinics, hospitals, medical practices and training courses alike. The ease of use makes it helpful even to the seasoned and experienced paediatric physician, clearly improving the examination quality after short introduction time.
