*Current FDA Recommendations on Rupture Screening include: For asymptomatic patients, the first ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) should be performed at 5-6 years postoperatively, then every 2-3 years thereafter. For symptomatic patients or patients with equivocal ultrasound results for rupture at any time postoperatively, an MRI is recommended. Click here for more information.
Point-of-care ultrasound supports both pre- and post-operative office screening, to build patient understanding of their options regarding revisions and replacements. It also helps you assess implant integrity, to support efficient surgical intervention.
Utilization of ultrasound provides a safe, effective method for aspirating seromas, allowing for accurate visualization and delineation of the seroma margins, proper needle placement, and monitoring of progress. Point-of-care ultrasound can play an active role in postprocedural management of patients undergoing surgeries.¹
Butterfly iQ+ provides in-pocket accessibility for nerve block guidance thanks to its high-fidelity B-mode, as well as Needle Viz™, developed specifically for procedural support. Ultrasound guided peripheral nerve blocks have been associated with higher success rates than traditional anatomical techniques.²

Breast implant surgery is one of the most frequently performed cosmetic or reconstructive surgical procedures in the United States. In recent years, ultrasound has emerged as a powerful tool for monitoring the long-term health of patients with breast implants. As part of our commitment to safety and innovation, Butterfly is collaborating with Sentra to provide board-certified plastic surgeons with enhanced diagnostic tools and education for proactive surveillance of breast implant outcomes.*
