Comfort NX // A new ergonomic cable for ultrasound imaging

15 mins

According to a 2018 report issued by the Society of Diagnostic Medical Sonography, a staggering 90% of clinical sonographers experience symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders. Many of the probes, connectors and cables used by clinical sonographers are bulky and heavy in nature, a potential factor contributing to these instances of work-related musculoskeletal disorders. At TE Connectivity, our engineers believe that you don’t need a heavy, bulky imaging cable to provide high-quality reliable performance. During this webinar, Eugene Mayevskiy Principle Engineer will discuss COMFORT NX, TE's newest ergonomic cable design for medical ultrasound imaging.
