Clarius Mobile Health announces the release of the new Clarius L20 HD, which has garnered U.S. FDA clearance and features ultra-high definition medical imaging for superficial applications. 

Designed to provide high image quality in the near field (skin line to 4cm), the Clarius L20 HD is suitable for a variety of clinical settings including MSK, rheumatology, podiatry, plastic surgery, microsurgery, pediatric anesthesia, line placement, and other specialty applications that currently rely on costly cart-based systems to visualize shallow anatomy.

“Every medical practitioner should have access to high definition imaging to improve confidence in diagnoses and accuracy in guided procedures. Historically, ultra-high frequency imaging for superficial scanning was only found on costly premium systems, which has been a barrier to adoption,” says Clarius CEO Laurent Pelissier. “We’ve miniaturized ultrasound, without compromising image quality. With the Clarius L20, we are excited to release the highest frequency ultrasound imaging in a wireless scanner now at such an affordable price point.”

Offering a frequency range of 8-20 MHz, the Clarius L20 HD is capable of imaging down to 4 cm. With its easy-to-use apps for iOS and Android, it delivers high-quality images that are comparable to premium cart-based systems, without the need to adjust complex knobs and switches. Moreover, artificial intelligence adjusts imaging parameters in real-time based on the scanning application.
