StrokeHolder for Diagnostics
The device can be used in diagnostic workup of confused, encephalopathic, intoxicated and, therefore, uncooperative patients. In these cases, the use of safe immobilization with StrokeHolder will help obtain a quality diagnostic exam regardless of the patient’s cooperation level. This will allow to start and finish the exam with a single attempt, negating the need for general anesthesia in most diagnostic procedures: no more incomplete and postponed exams!
Safe, reliable, and radiolucent, StrokeHolder can be used
in any diagnostic, noninvasive and invasive modes of modern medicine such as:
The Diagnostic catheter angiography of the brain, neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis, lower and upper extremities
Catheter coronary angiography
Plain X-Rays of the head, neck, spine, skeleton, chest, abdomen and pelvis
Diagnostic ultrasound of the body and extremities
Doppler interrogation of carotid arteries and peripheral vessels
