Abstract: A grip apparatus has a first body portion for gripping in a hand of an operator and a second body portion that releasably or integrally supports the acoustic window of an ultrasound imaging transducer. The first body portion has an upper surface parallel to the acoustic window at a location spaced upwardly from the acoustic window and a post extending upwardly from the upper surface to a radial enlargement such that the post is arranged to be gripped between two extended fingers of the hand of the operator below the radial enlargement while contacting the upper surface of the second body portion in a prone position of the hand. The post is spaced perpendicularly outward from the imaging plane of the acoustic window in a first direction. Two wing sections extend outwardly from opposing sides of the upper surface a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.
