Ultrasound Systems and Transducers for Imaging and Point of Care
Ultrasound systems produce real-time images of tissue and structures, and transducers are the interchangeable probes that shape the beam for each application. The catalog stocks cart-based, portable and handheld ultrasound systems and linear, curved, phased-array and endocavity transducers for hospitals, imaging centers, OB/GYN, vascular, emergency and point-of-care users. Products in this category include GE Healthcare, Philips, Fujifilm Sonosite, Mindray, Canon, Butterfly and Konica Minolta systems.

Ultrasound System and Transducer Types
| Type | Format | Common Transducers | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cart-based system | Console on wheels | Linear, curved, phased | Radiology, OB, cardiac |
| Portable system | Laptop-style | Linear, curved, endocavity | Clinic, vascular, POCUS |
| Handheld system | Single probe, app-based | Integrated multi-mode | Bedside, point of care |
| Transducer | Interchangeable probe | Linear, curved, phased, endocavity | Application-specific |
Transducer Types and System Compatibility
Transducers are matched to their system by connector and are selected by application: linear transducers for superficial and vascular imaging, curved transducers for abdominal and obstetric imaging, phased-array transducers for cardiac windows, and endocavity transducers for transvaginal and transrectal imaging. A cart-based or portable system typically accepts several transducers so one console covers multiple exam types, while handheld systems integrate a probe or accept a small set. The catalog groups transducers by system platform so replacements and additions stay compatible with the installed base.
Ultrasound systems are capital imaging equipment on multi-year cycles, but transducers are the high-value components that wear, drop and get replaced across an imaging department's life, and the consumables around them - gel, covers and print paper - reorder continuously. Standardizing systems and transducers through one wholesale account keeps probes compatible with the installed consoles and lets a department manage transducer replacement and consumable supply together.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a cart-based and a handheld ultrasound system?
A cart-based system is a full console on wheels that accepts several transducers and offers the widest imaging capability for radiology, OB and cardiac departments. A handheld system is a compact single-probe or app-based device for bedside and point-of-care scanning. Portable laptop-style systems sit between the two. The catalog stocks all three formats across major platforms.
What transducer types are stocked and how are they used?
The catalog stocks linear transducers for superficial and vascular imaging, curved transducers for abdominal and obstetric imaging, phased-array transducers for cardiac windows, and endocavity transducers for transvaginal and transrectal imaging, plus specialty probes. Transducers are selected by application and matched to the system platform by connector.
Are transducers interchangeable between ultrasound systems?
Transducers are matched to their system platform by connector, so they are interchangeable within a compatible system family but not universal across all brands. The catalog groups transducers by GE, Philips, Sonosite, Mindray and other platforms so a replacement or added probe stays compatible with the installed console.
Can hospitals and imaging centers order ultrasound systems in bulk?
Yes. Cart-based, portable and handheld ultrasound systems and their transducers are available for hospitals, imaging centers, OB/GYN practices, vascular labs, emergency departments and licensed distributors, with systems shipping per unit and the matched consumables in case quantities. Contact our procurement team for pricing on multi-unit orders and consumable standing orders.
What ultrasound systems and transducers should be in a facility formulary?
An ultrasound equipment formulary typically covers the system formats a department needs - cart-based for radiology and OB, portable or handheld for point of care - with a matched transducer set of linear, curved, phased-array and endocavity probes, plus spare transducers and the gel, covers and print paper the systems consume.
