Carolina Medical Equipment needed to package new ultrasound technology into a unit that would feature usability, expandability and serviceability. The unit had to be easily transportable and had to take up a minimum of space in an operating room crowded with other equipment.

We minimized the footprint of the unit by carefully considering what the architecture of the internal componentry should be. We enabled the unit to be easily serviced and expanded by providing access on both sides of the case to the vertically arranged components. We enhanced usability by designing the unit so that it can be used comfortably in both a standing and a sitting position. We designed the contours to be smooth for easy cleaning. And by incorporating the internal sheet metal cage as part of the aesthetic design, we gave the unit both a unique look and maximized Carolina Medical's tooling investment: the front and back pressure-formed casings are molded in the same tool.

Carolina Medical's Brachiotherapy Ultrasound Device gives the medical community a product with multiple advantages over those with which it competes.
