Why choose the Sonosite SII?
Purchasing ultrasound equipment is no small matter, particularly for departments like Anesthesia and Trauma, where both time and space seem to be working against you. So what makes the Sonosite SII a high-performance machine in these settings?

Several key features set the SII apart from other ultrasound solutions.

Fast machine boot-up time
You need an ultrasound machine that is ready to scan, stat. The SII goes from cold start to scanning in under 25 seconds.

Clarity of ultrasound image
When your trauma bay is packed with medical personnel, it can be difficult to monitor everything. When space is at a premium, the Sonosite SII offers a stunningly clear picture. With its high visibility, non-reflective screen, and wide viewing angle, the Sll displays patient scans clearly from across the room.

New patented transducer technology
DirectClear Technology, available on the rP19x and rC60xi transducers, is a novel, patent-pending process that elevates transducer performance with improved penetration and contrast resolution. A unique combination of matching and de-matching layers surrounding the transducer's crystal send more of the ultrasound signal into the body, producing an image that is clear and distinct.

Armored transducer cables
How often do transducer cables get rolled over, stepped on, or twisted? The rC60xi, rP19x, L38xi, and L52x (vet) transducer cables are surrounded by an embedded metal jacket, protecting your cables from damage. By safeguarding electrical connections inside, armored cables help maintain image quality over the life of your transducer.

Simplified ultrasound controls, interface, and presets
When it's your job to administer a nerve block, assess internal bleeding, or perform a thoracentesis, you need technology that works right along with you. That's why the SII has an intuitive user interface, familiar tactile controls, and dual transducer connectors. When time is of the essence, the SII is ready to perform the right exam at the right time with minimal set-up.

Portable ultrasound machine with a small footprint
When space is at a premium, you don't want an ultrasound machine that takes up one quarter of the room. The Sonosite SII is designed to take up as little space as possible, while still providing crystal-clear imaging. The SII has a zero footprint when mounted on a wall, connected to an articulating arm, or used with a small-footprint optional stand, so you can bring the image closer to you.

Optional cord management solutions make transporting the machine between rooms easier than ever. The SII's award-winning design was created using clinician input, as well as thousands of hours of real-time observation of ultrasound machines in use in clinical settings.

Versatile, flexible, and efficient ultrasound exams
With the SII, you can easily switch between transducers and exam types. Two transducers can be connected simultaneously; change from one transducer to the other with two taps of the screen. Two screen taps will also easily switch between exam types on the same transducer. So if you're performing an abdominal ultrasound exam and need to switch to a vascular exam, you can do it in just seconds.

Award-winning design
The SII was designed after thousands of hours of real-time usage observation, clinician testing, and practitioner interviews. The SII reintroduces features (like physical knobs to adjust gain and depth) that our customers told us improved the ultrasound experience. The Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA) recognized the Sonosite SII ultrasound in the 36th Annual International Design Excellence Awards (IDEA).
