Wearable portable ultrasound probe

Abstract

Disclosed are wearable ultrasound probes for use in trauma triage and assessment. The probes include a housing having a dorsal side and a palmar side, a proximal end and a distal end, and a longitudinal axis extending therebetween. The proximal end comprises a finger-receiving aperture that is configured to form a sleeve including a tubular wall member formed from an elastomeric material and defining an inner lumen. A portion of the tubular wall member is configured to extend or project into the inner lumen to form a deformable gripping member for gripping a finger. The probes also include at least one ultrasound array disposed at the distal end or adjacent to the distal end.
