As handheld ultrasound technology has advanced, top orthopedic, pain, and physical therapy experts are choosing wireless ultrasound for accurate diagnosis, dynamic assessment, and precision-guided procedures in their clinics.
Here we break down six core reasons why the Clarius wireless scanners are often the preferred choice for MSK specialists.
1. Unmatched High-Definition Clarity for Superficial Anatomy
For MSK specialists focusing on tendons, ligaments, nerves, and superficial muscle tears—structures that demand exceptional resolution, the Clarius L15 HD3 is a high-frequency linear scanner specifically designed to deliver high-definition imaging of near-field structures. For deeper tissue and joints, the Clarius L7 HD3 or Clarius C3 HD3 is available.
- See the difference: Easily visualize subtle fascicular nerve patterns, track the movement of fine needles during hydrodissection, and accurately grade small soft tissue injuries.
- Clinical Confidence: When diagnosing complex conditions, you eliminate guesswork with the highest image quality available in a wireless system.
Watch this 2–minute video to see ultrasound educator Marc Schmitz demonstrate the scanner position and technique to assess the plantar fascia with the Clarius L15 HD3 ultrasound.
2. Wireless Freedom for Dynamic Exams and Procedures
The most valuable MSK exams are often dynamic, requiring the patient to move while the transducer stays focused. Cart-based systems can be cumbersome and restrictive.
- Mobility: Clarius scanners operate completely wirelessly, connecting to your tablet or phone. This allows you to perform range-of-motion assessments, examine athletes on the sideline, or use the device seamlessly in a sterile operating room environment without being tethered by cables.
- Ergonomics: The compact size is designed for comfort and control, making it easier to hold the transducer and guide your needle simultaneously during injections or biopsies.
Watch this video to see Dr. Rosenblum efficiently perform and demonstrate a series of cervical injections to treat his patient’s neck and arm pain, and headaches.
3. Precision Guidance for Targeted Injections and Interventions
For pain management and orthopedic surgery, accurate needle placement is paramount for effective treatment and avoiding sensitive neurovascular structures.
- Advanced Features: Leverage features like adaptive gain and image presets designed specifically for MSK and Pain procedures. This clarity helps you precisely target joints, bursa, tendons, or inject hyaluronic acid or biologics with confidence.
- Streamlined Workflow: Transition instantly from diagnostic imaging to therapeutic guidance using the same high-performance device.
Watch this 5-minute video to see Dr. Del Duca demonstrate the complete process for PRP injection into the glenohumeral joint of his patient with shoulder instability.
4. AI-Powered Guidance for Simplicity and Speed
Clarius integrates sophisticated Artificial Intelligence (AI) directly into the app, making ultrasound more accessible and faster for everyone—from new users to seasoned experts.
- T-Mode: Features like T-Mode for Shoulder and Knee provide visual assistance, helping even novice users recognize layers of anatomy faster, reducing the learning curve significantly.
- Automated Efficiency: Specialized AI, including MSK and Median Nerve AI, automatically identifies and highlights key anatomical structures on the screen. This drastically improves workflow efficiency by saving time on manual adjustments and enhancing diagnostic confidence.
In this 2-minute video, sonographer Shelley Guenther demonstrates T-Mode for ultrasound users learning how to recognize ultrasound anatomy of the anterior knee.
5. Instant, Secure Collaboration and Documentation
Modern practice requires fast, secure integration of imaging into patient records. Clarius devices link directly to the Clarius Cloud and your mobile device, transforming your documentation process.
- Quick Sharing: Share images or clips instantly and securely with referring physicians or colleagues for consultation.
- Data Integration: Easily integrate images into your Electronic Health Record (EHR) with secure, HIPAA/GDPR compliant storage.
