Veterinary practices are evolving. There’s much greater focus on and need for quickness, and mobility, whether at the clinic, on a barn visit, or at a remote location. The battery-powered portable x-ray systems take the stress out of the prospect of x-ray imaging for animals on location.

Veterinarians are now able to offer sophisticated imaging diagnostics thanks to systems like our Elite series of battery-powered portable x-ray systems as well as the ULTRA 9020BT, which don’t need to be plugged into an electrical socket.

Reasons for Battery-Powered Portable X-Ray Units

The convenience of battery operation is not just about the productivity gained, there are much bigger positive impacts to be realized.

  • Effective Battery-Powered Systems – From stalls to fields, there are no restrictions. Move about and work without the worry of finding a power point.
  • Simplified Safety – There are no cords to trip or work around, minimizing hazards while working in exam rooms or clinical barns.
  • Quicker Diagnostic Systems – Image capture, coupled with high-resolution results, enhances speed and accuracy of decision making.
  • Reduced Patient Transit Stress – Animals do not need to be restrained, sedated, or transported, and the exams are much more comfortable.
