Equipping SANE Programs for Success

Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) Programs play a critical role in delivering compassionate care, preserving evidence, and supporting patients during some of their most vulnerable moments. The right tools not only enhance the quality of forensic documentation but also ease the burden on providers, allowing them to focus on what matters most…the patient.

One of the most essential tools in a SANE program is the colposcope. Choosing the right system makes the difference between exams that are complicated and frustrating versus exams that are seamless, accurate, and trauma-informed.

The Challenges SANE Programs Face

SANE nurses often work in high-stress, unpredictable environments where time, accuracy, and sensitivity are crucial. Common challenges include:

• Capturing clear, reliable images for both clinical and forensic purposes
• Ensuring exams are trauma-informed and do not cause stress for the patient
• Balancing demands with the reality of limited time and resources
• Documenting evidence securely in a way that can stand up in legal proceedings
• Adapting and moving equipment to different settings, from dedicated exam rooms to emergency departments

The LT-300HD: Designed with SANE Programs in Mind

Lutech designed the LT-300HD Digital Colposcope specifically to meet the needs of SANE programs. Here’s how it helps address the unique challenges forensic nurses face:

1. Crystal-Clear Imaging
   The LT-300HD delivers high-definition clarity with adjustable green filters, 30x zoom and auto and manual focus, ensuring that even subtle findings are captured. This provides strong, reliable documentation for both clinical follow-up and court proceedings.
2. Trauma-Informed Design
   The ergonomic design relieves the pressure from being examined through a traditional eyepiece. Providers can conduct exams with less physical strain, while patients experience a less invasive, more respectful process.
3. Simple, User-Friendly Workflow
   Ease of use and timely exams are critical in sensitive environments. The LT-300HD allows providers to capture images hands-free with a foot pedal and included software. The captured images can then be directly added into procedure notes or to an external hard drive, avoiding unnecessary steps like cloud uploads or complicated software navigation.
4. Secure Documentation
   Images are securely uploaded or saved to your network drive, ensuring evidence is preserved, protected, and easily retrievable when needed.
5. Flexible Options for Every Setting
   From swing arm to mobile stand versions, the LT-300HD adapts to the realities of SANE programs, whether in a dedicated forensic exam room or shared clinical space.
