Advisor Medical Offers New, Dedicated Musculoskeletal Ultrasound System From BK Medical Designed for MSK Professionals

CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwire - February 23, 2011) -  Advisor Medical, the leading provider of musculoskeletal ultrasound systems, comprehensive training and service, today announced that it will begin selling the new, dedicated Flex Focus™ 400MSK ultrasound system from BK Medical, a wholly owned subsidiary of Analogic Corporation (NASDAQ: ALOG). The Flex Focus 400MSK system, developed exclusively for Advisor Medical, is designed specifically for musculoskeletal imaging professionals. The new ultrasound system offers premium image quality, a unique touch pad user-interface, and it is extremely user friendly. As a result, patient exams, such as sports injuries, are performed pain-free.

"As a customer-focused ultrasound distributor for private office physicians and the leader in the MSK ultrasound market, we have the ability to evaluate the best systems from all over the world," said Lance Corlis, vice president of sales, Advisor Medical. "This is why we are very excited to take BK Medical's Flex Focus 400MSK ultrasound system to market. Its user interface is extremely easy for surgeons to operate and its large monitor is optimal for performing procedures. In addition, the image resolution and quality are the best I've seen compared to any systems currently available today, and the value for all clinicians, including solo practitioners is excellent."

The Flex Focus 400MSK provides high-resolution imaging in superficial and deep targets for improved diagnostic confidence. The ultrasound system's intuitive user interface offers specific anatomy measurements and annotations for enhanced productivity and pain-free patient exams. In addition, the system is controlled using a unique touch control panel, which helps to dramatically reduce the number of keystrokes required for image optimization. The Flex Focus 400MSK high-resolution 19-inch flat screen displays sharp 2D images with superb detail and contrast resolution, and the system is configurable with BK Medical's Power Pack option, a full back-up power solution providing plug-free imaging for up to four hours.

"The team at Advisor Medical consistently meets clinicians' needs including high-level training, service and support. In addition, we believe their successful customized approach as a customer-focused ultrasound partner, coupled with the value the Flex Focus 400MSK system offers, will further broaden its footprint throughout the musculoskeletal market."
