Today’s hospital systems are feeling the pressure from all sides—rising labor costs, supply chain shortages, inadequate reimbursements—and with inflation increasing and the impact of new tariffs, doing more with less has become the norm.
Healthcare systems are facing a perfect storm as we move into the end of 2025. With increased expenses growing at a greater rate than inflation, hospitals are having to delay investments in essential medical equipment.1 Equipment that can go the distance isn’t just a good idea—it’s key to navigating these most challenging times.
Doing More with Less
With fewer hands on deck and an endless need for treatment and care, devices that reduce dependency on specialized resources for basic cardiovascular and vascular assessments ease the pressure by allowing clinicians and nurses to improve patient care without sacrificing expediency.
Saving Time and Staff Resources with VascuChek®
Since the 2010s, handheld devices have become essential bedside tools for clinicians performing ultrasounds, empowering easy portability that’s vital when resources are limited.2 VascuChek’s cordless, handheld Doppler makes vascular screenings fast, easy, and efficient, from the OR to the bedside and beyond.
Thanks to the patented sheath deployment method along with the single-use probes, VascuChek is the first cordless and rechargeable Doppler system that’s FDA-cleared for evaluating intraoperative and subcutaneous blood flow inside a sterile field during surgery. The cordless Doppler design eliminates the need for a restrictive, tethered transceiver box or a second operator.
Traditional Dopplers often require a nurse to manage cords during operation; the cordless design of VascuChek’s Doppler medical equipment frees up more than just an extra pair of hands. Cutting the cord gives nurses greater freedom to provide patient care wherever needed, with a pocket-sized and rechargeable build that’s also ideal for conducting multiple vascular checks on regular rounds.
The VascuChek Doppler system makes vascular screenings simple, with two internal speakers that provide audio feedback near the clinician, empowering easy interpretation and assessment of blood flow.
To ensure easy use in most care settings, VascuChek utilizes disposable Doppler probes to ensure reliability in both clinical and sterile surgical settings. Its portable, cordless design makes it ideal for use in home care settings as well, providing even greater value and convenience for clinicians, nurses, and patients whenever and wherever needed.
Dopplers Developed with Doctors in Mind
When Remington Medical set out to design a cordless Doppler, it wasn’t done blindly. The VascuChek Doppler system was developed alongside the professionals who use Dopplers every day, providing essential feedback at every step for a variety of uses.
We created multiple prototypes, and after choosing a design that exceeded our expectations, we interviewed more than 100 of the nation’s top physicians and surgeons to ask if our vascular Doppler device would be a valuable addition to the market.
Their feedback ensures that our vascular Doppler handheld device provides both reliability and convenience at every opportunity, with a compact size that allows for easier maneuvering by a single clinician and easy-to-use controls save time and maximize efficiency while improving the user experience.
Furthermore, VascuChek cordless Dopplers are backed by over three decades of industry leadership and expertise by Remington Medical. Since 1992, Remington Medical has been improving the patient experience by designing, manufacturing and delivering advanced, cost-effective medical devices that increase procedural efficiency and capability.
