Abstract

A transvaginal ultrasound device includes a collar, a body, and an ultrasound sensor assembly. The collar defines a longitudinal lumen configured to receive a shaft for slidably positioning the collar about the shaft. The body depends from the collar and protrudes distally relative to the collar. The ultrasound sensor assembly is disposed within the body and configured for ultrasound imaging. The collar and the body are configured for full insertion through a vaginal introitus and into a vaginal canal of a human patient for positioning the longitudinal lumen of the collar in substantial alignment with a cervix of the human patient to enable the shaft to extend through the cervix and into a uterus of the human patient.
