  • Publication number: 20190314105
    Abstract: Arrangements described herein relate to systems, apparatuses, and methods for an enclosure for a device having a probe supported by a housing. The housing defines a cavity through which the probe protrudes. The probe is configured to move within the cavity. The enclosure includes a removable enclosure body. The enclosure body is configured to enclose at least a portion of the housing while covering an entirety of the cavity. The enclosure further includes a probe interaction portion in the enclosure body. The probe interaction portion is configured to be operatively engaged with the probe such that the probe is configured to transmit acoustic energy to a subject from within the enclosure.

  • Publication number: 20190150892
    Abstract: A gel application system comprises a flexible tip member having a first end, a second end and a gel flow channel connecting the first end and the second end. The second end of the flexible tip member has a self-closing outlet tip. A container defines an interior volume containing gel and has one end coupled in gel flow communication with the gel flow channel of the flexible tip member. The self-closing outlet tip is configured to remain in a closed (or sealed) state with sufficient force that gel is not able to pass through the outlet tip, unless an external force above a threshold is applied to the gel in the gel container.

  • Publication number: 20190150891
    Abstract: A gel application system includes a base providing a support structure having a first surface. The base has a central portion separating two side portions. The base is configured to fold across the central portion. One or more containers is supported by the first surface of the base, on one or both of the side portions of the base. Each container encloses a volume of gel. An applicator is supported at the central portion of the base. The base has a second surface facing opposite the first surface, and is configured to fold across the central portion to a pivoted state in which the second surface of the two side portions of the base are pivoted toward each other.

  • Publication number: 20190150890
    Abstract: A gel application system includes an applicator body having a first surface, a second surface and at least one opening extending through the applicator body from the first surface to the second surface. At least one gel packet is attached to the first surface of the applicator and defines an interior volume containing gel. The interior volume of the gel packet is in fluid flow communication with the at least one opening. The at least one gel packet is made of a material that has sufficient flexibility to allow a user to squeeze and compress the interior volume and expel gel through the at least one opening, by applying a compression force on the gel packet.

  • Patent number: 10265234
    Abstract: Arrangements described herein relate to systems, apparatuses, and methods for a head cradle pad configured to be affixed to a head cradle of a medical device, the head cradle pad includes a first section corresponding to a shape of a top portion of the head cradle, a second section corresponding to a shape of a bottom portion of the head cradle, and a center connection portion connecting the first section and the second section. The first section and the second section are shaped to form spatial gaps when the head cradle pad is in a flat state when the head cradle pad is un-affixed to the head cradle. The first section and the second section are shaped to eliminate the spatial gaps when the head cradle pad is affixed to the concave surface of the head cradle.
