FINGER MOUNTED PROBES

These are the small ultrasound probe with a finger clip ,that is adapted to mounted on human finger. It slides onto clinician's index finger,allowing them to put hand on the patient for physical exam. The first finger mounted probe SonoEye is developed by Sonivate Medicals

FEATURES

• The finger probes are supported by the clip
• The interior surface is adapted to contact in human finger
• It has a micro array architecture
• It has a mass less than 280 gm

MAIN PARTS 

1.Finger Clip 

• Adapted to mount on human finger.
• Providing support to the probe

2.Connector

• Adapted to mate to a user-worn mating connector-half

3. Multi conductor cable

• Electrically connector to the connector

ADVANTAGEOUS

• Small size
• Flexible
• Quickly Detachable 

APPLICATIONS

• Analysis of wounds
• Analysis of fluid flow
• To carry out guided biopsies
• Can be used to diagnose torn muscles, Tendor tissues ,Fractures, Internal bleeding and swollen organs
• Surgical applications
