One probe, the whole body. That is the core claim behind the Butterfly iQ+, and the semiconductor transducer technology that makes it possible is genuinely different from how every other ultrasound probe on the market works. Traditional probes use piezoelectric crystals and must be engineered for specific frequency ranges, which is why a Sonosite or GE cart ships with three or four separate transducers for cardiac, abdominal, vascular, and linear scanning. The Butterfly iQ+ uses a single silicon chip with microfabricated ultrasound transducer (MUT) elements that adjust electronically across frequencies. The result is a single handheld probe that covers all those clinical modes. Financing a fleet of iQ+ probes changes the per-seat cost calculation for any practice thinking about equipping multiple providers simultaneously.
The Butterfly iQ+ probes list around $2,000 to $3,000 per unit, but the real cost of deploying the platform across a group includes the Butterfly Enterprise software subscription, compatible device management, and often the devices themselves if the practice is not using bring-your-own hardware. Fleet purchases of 20, 50, or 100 probes across a hospitalist program, a medical school, or a multi-site health system are where the total transaction value climbs above our $50,000 minimum comfortably. We finance those fleet deals as a single transaction. Application-only approval applies up to roughly $400,000, and most deals fund in one to two weeks.
