Orca Medical was founded when two highly experienced industry professionals realised that while a growing number of practitioners are looking to bring the benefits of ultrasound skills into their practice, their access to an extended choice of scanners that may suit their needs is quite limited. We are committed to delivering solutions for healthcare professionals and use our knowledge to source and select portable ultrasound systems that offer a promising balance of cost and performance for a particular type of use. Before making a product available, we ask experts to evaluate its suitability, looking at the acceptability of imaging and value for money it offers. Scanners that pass our test of being within a certain price range and also offering optimum performance for that price are then made available and use on courses so that delegates can experience what those different price levels mean in terms of performance and make informed judgements about what will be most appropriate to purchase for their practice. This has a further benefit, in that course organisers frequently face restrictions in obtaining enough equipment to deliver the practical scanning essential for skills development. We want to help expand the availability and quality of training, at all levels. We will work with any manufacturer prepared to work with us and will ensure its products, should they pass the tests of suitability and value, are introduced to users fairly and equitably. We encourage all prospective purchasers to attend courses, experience the range of performance options available and then consider the best way of incorporating ultrasound scanning into practice so that it does deliver the anticipated benefits. We will work with you to find the right pathway into the challenging, dynamic and hugely rewarding world of ultrasound.
