Description

An ultrasonic probe supporting device

technical field

The invention relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to an ultrasonic probe supporting device.

Background technique

Ultrasound imaging is one of the three routine examinations in medical practice. Its wide application, convenience and quick diagnosis results are widely welcomed by doctors and patients. With the in-depth development of medical technology, ultrasound imaging is gradually transitioning from imaging diagnostic medicine to interventional medicine and precision medicine. Among them, ultrasonic interventional therapy, ultrasonic irradiation cavitation therapy, ultrasonic precision medical therapy, etc., all require the scanning section of the ultrasonic probe to remain stable and last for a period of time. This just requires the medical staff's arm to maintain a posture to support the probe for a long time. Hanging the arm for a long time makes the arm numb and sour, and even causes frozen shoulder, which not only seriously affects the health of medical staff, but also makes it difficult to maintain the stability of the probe.

In addition, medical personnel not only need to support the ultrasonic probe, but also need to observe the image and cooperate with the interventional treatment operation during the scanning and interventional treatment with the ultrasonic probe. However, since the medical personnel perform the interventional operation while supporting the ultrasound probe to control the image, if the two do not cooperate well, the puncture needle or interventional equipment often misses the target in the monitor, and accidentally injures the surrounding tissue. When necessary, multiple assistants are required to cooperate and participate, which not only increases the difficulty of operation, but also increases the medical cost.

To sum up, there is an urgent need for a supporting device that replaces manual control of the ultrasound probe, which can not only support the probe stably and evenly, but also assist ultrasound interventional therapy and ultrasound radiation therapy. Ultimately achieve the goal of precision medicine and medical cost savings. And about this ultrasonic probe supporting device, there is no report yet.
