  • Ergonomic transducer housing and methods for ultrasound imaging
    Publication number: 20060173331
    Abstract: A palmar surface may allow for ease of gripping an ultrasound transducer probe. By facing the palmar surface so that the users hand is directed downwards, towards the patient's skin, during use, less wrist flexing may result. To allow for gripping, the cable extends from the transducer at a location other than the top of the transducer. Elastomer or other soft materials increase grip.
