CUBA Clinical Contact Ultrasound Bone Analyzer
Price: $ 11,900.00
MedTek is pleased to present the McCue
CUBAClinical™ Contact Ultrasound Bone Analyzer.
Never before has assessing a patient's risk of
fracture been easier or more cost-effective. And
what's more, the CUBAClinical is designed to
perform a heel measurement in less than a minute.
  • The world's first dry ultrasound system
    (no water bath).

  • Patented internal electronic phantom for
    simple calibration.

  • Lightweight (22 lbs.) and easy-to-operate.

  • Does not produce ionizing radiation.

  • Cost-effective assessment of risk of
    fracture.

The CUBAClinical is a patented ‘dry’ Ultrasonic
Bone Sonometry System. By placing the calcaneus
(heel bone) between two directly contacting
Ultrasonic Transducers, rapid measurements of
Broadband Ultrasonic Attenuation (BUA) are
obtained. The calcaneus is a bone site of proven
sensitivity to osteoporotic change.

The CUBAClinical takes an ultrasound measurement
through the patient’s heel. The patient is seated
with the foot accurately positioned into the
footwell, using the correct positioning insert.
The foot and lower part of the leg are secured
using two Velcro® straps. Ultrasound gel is
applied to the face of the silicone pads and to
the sides of the heel to provide acoustic
coupling. The silicone pads are brought into
contact with each side of the patient’s heel by
means of a motorized mechanism. Inaudible sound
waves are transmitted from one of the transducers
through the heel and received by the other
transducer. Quantitative parameters describing the
attenuation in the heel are measured.

Includes:
  • Measurement unit

  • Power cord

  • Computer or data controller connection
    cord

  • Foot positioning inserts

  • Accessories
