摘要:
The present invention is directed towards a placement device for a flat Doppler probe and a method of use that allows for hands-free use of a flat Doppler probe. The device replaces gel for transmitting and receiving ultrasound signals or alternatively encapsulates the gel. The placement device includes a hydrophilic surface that contacts a patient and allows for the transmission and receiving of ultrasound signals. The placement device eliminates the use of gel for easier clean up and optimizes the transmission of ultrasound signals. The placement device includes an adhesive on the patient contacting surface that allows the placement device to adhere to a surface on a patient.
