Bladder Scanner (1N)

$27,800 | Replacement

Patients in hospital often experience conditions or treatments that affect their ability to urinate comfortably or
independently. Left unaddressed, bladder retention can cause pain, infection, and serious complications—making
timely assessment essential to patient comfort and safety.
A bladder scanner allows nurses to quickly and painlessly assess bladder retention at the bedside, reducing discomfort

and avoiding unnecessary catheterization. It is an essential tool for safe, dignified patient care.
The dedicated scanner for 1N has failed, and shared equipment is not always accessible—especially after hours.
Replacing this unit will ensure timely assessments, reduce delays in care, and improve comfort and safety for patients

on the unit.
