Global Healthcare Medical Wireless Backfat & Loin Ultrasound Scanner

Model: GHM VProbe-2B HK

The Global Healthcare Medical Wireless Backfat & Loin Ultrasound Scanner is a compact, probe-type ultrasound device engineered specifically for livestock body composition assessment and carcass quality evaluation. Designed for livestock producers, breeding managers, and veterinary professionals who need objective, quantitative data on animal fat deposition and muscle development, this wireless scanner delivers specialized backfat measurement and loin eye muscle imaging in a lightweight, handheld form factor.

Weighing under 300g (approximately 0.66 lbs) and measuring 145mm × 45mm × 40mm, this device condenses the essential components of a traditional ultrasound system into a single handheld probe. There is no screen, no base unit, and no cumbersome cables. Images are transmitted wirelessly via built-in WiFi to a tablet or smartphone, where the companion app displays real-time B-mode imaging alongside specialized backfat measurement software. The result is a practical, field-ready tool that puts objective body composition data directly in your hand.

Global Healthcare Medical is dedicated to improving animal health and agricultural productivity worldwide by delivering value-driven, innovative, and high-quality medical products and services.

Key Features & Benefits

Dedicated Linear Array for Backfat and Loin Assessment

This scanner features a 5 MHz linear array probe with a 45mm transducer length, specifically configured for imaging subcutaneous fat layers and the longissimus dorsi (loin eye) muscle. The linear array design provides:

• Excellent near-field resolution – ideal for delineating distinct fat layers, skin, and muscle boundaries

• Uniform imaging across the scan plane – consistent measurement quality across the entire field of view

• Compact scanning footprint – 45mm width facilitates precise placement at anatomical landmark sites (e.g., P1, P2, P3 positions in cattle)

• 256-level gray scale – clear differentiation between fat, muscle, and connective tissue boundaries

Adjustable Scanning Depth for Multi-Species Versatility

The device offers adjustable scanning depth from 40mm to 120mm, allowing operators to adapt the imaging depth to the animal‘s size, species, and the specific anatomical region being assessed:

• Shallow depth (40mm) – suitable for smaller animals, young stock, or superficial fat layer assessment

• Deep depth (120mm) – suitable for mature cattle, large pigs, or deep loin muscle evaluation

This flexibility enables the same device to serve across multi-species operations without the need for multiple probes.

Specialized Backfat Measurement Software

The scanner is paired with dedicated backfat measurement software that transforms raw ultrasound images into quantitative, actionable data. The software provides:

• Objective fat layer measurement – precise thickness data for each subcutaneous fat layer

• Loin eye muscle imaging – visualization of the longissimus dorsi muscle cross-section

• Non-invasive assessment – data collection without the need for carcass evaluation

• Repeatable, consistent measurements – standardization across operators and sessions

Wireless Freedom for Field and Farm Use

The scanner connects wirelessly to an iPad or tablet via built-in WiFi (802.11g/20MHz/2.4G/54Mbps) , enabling:

• Complete freedom of movement – no cables to tangle, no base unit to carry

• Immediate image display – real-time visualization on your existing tablet

• Simple setup – install the companion app, connect to the probe’s WiFi, and start scanning

• Internal WiFi from probe – no external WiFi signal required

• Image storage – uses your device’s storage for convenient record-keeping

Portable and Ready for the Field

• Lightweight design – under 300g for effortless one-handed operation

• Compact form factor – 145mm × 45mm × 40mm fits in a pocket or bag

• Extended battery life – up to 4 hours of continuous scanning on a single charge

• USB charging – convenient and universal

• Rugged construction – built for barn, feedlot, and field conditions

Simple, Intuitive Operation

The system is designed for practical field use with minimal setup:

• Screen-free design – one probe, one tablet, one connection

• Easy WiFi pairing – connect the probe to your tablet in seconds

• B-mode display – fundamental 2D imaging for clear tissue assessment

• Adjustable depth control – simple on-screen interface for depth adjustment

• 256-level gray scale – clear tissue differentiation for reliable measurement

Comprehensive Applications

This scanner is engineered for a wide range of livestock assessment applications:

Applied Livestock Management

For producers and breeding programs, the scanner supports key management decisions:

• Feed efficiency optimization – monitor fat deposition in response to different feeding regimens

• Genetic improvement – select breeding animals with superior lean meat yield characteristics

• Carcass quality prediction – estimate backfat thickness and loin muscle area in live animals

• Marketing timing – determine optimal slaughter weight and finishing status

• Herd health monitoring – track body condition changes over time
