 INFRASCANNER

Brain Hematoma Detector


The Infrascanner brain hematoma detector is the first hand-held device of its kind designed to assist first responders and emergency room personnel in identifying life threatening brain hematomas, allowing expedient assessment of patients and potentially facilitating crucial treatment. Intracranial hematomas resulting from a traumatic brain injury are lifee-threatening and patient outcomes can improve significantly if treated within an hour after an injury – known as the “golden hour”.


Brain Hematoma Detector


While most hospitals have a Computer Aided Tomography (CAT) scanner, which is viewed as the state-of-the-art technology for diagnosing a brain hematoma, many facilities lack the neurosurgical capabilities to treat the condition. The early identification of a brain hematoma can play a significant role in facilitating transportation of critically injured patients to facilities, which can both verify Infrascanner’s early diagnosis and offer surgical intervention. Infrascanner can also be used as an easy to use diagnostic tool in Intensive Care to aid the detection of post operative haematomas.
