“The launch of the Butterfly iQ+ Bladder demonstrates Butterfly’s commitment to extending our powerful Ultrasound-on-Chip technology into more markets where innovation is needed,” said Joseph DeVivo, President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman of Butterfly Network. “With iQ+ Bladder, we move outside of our core point-of-care ultrasound market to better address the bladder scanning market, which has long awaited a more affordable, user-friendly solution. We listened to the unique needs of our nursing and bladder scanning customers and brought them a purpose-built, streamlined solution that meets their fast pace and high workload.”

The iQ+ Bladder probe is powered by Butterfly’s proprietary Ultrasound-on-Chip technology and features durable construction that is built for daily use. The rolling cart features storage space and a probe charging dock for enhanced convenience and readiness, and a large tablet is mounted to the cart with tilted brackets that rotate 360° and pan 180° for optimum viewing and positioning.

The probe is paired with streamlined software, designed to address the specific needs of nurses and other providers who regularly conduct bladder scans. The application has a user-friendly interface, with no login or configurations necessary, allowing for immediate access to quick and intuitive scans. To empower confident, accurate measurement, the solution offers walkthrough guidance for proper probe placement, and also leverages Butterfly’s advanced bladder visualization capabilities, including 3D rendering to confirm true bladder anatomy.
