Ultrasound Guided Probe Device And Methods Of Using Same
US Patent:
2013010, Apr 25, 2013
Filed:
Oct 25, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/660560
Inventors:
Stephen F. Ridley - Columbia SC, US
M. Dexter Hagy - Greenville SC, US
M. Dexter Hagy - Greenville SC, US
International Classification:
A61B 8/00
US Classification:
600439
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to improved devices and methods for use in ultrasound guiding of percutaneous probes during medical procedures. The ultrasound devices of the present invention include an ultrasound transducer housing having a passage therethrough configured to accommodate a probe. The devices can be utilized to guide a probe through the probe guide in the passage of the transducer housing, and along a path extending from the ultrasound transducer housing to a target at a known angular relationship to the ultrasound transducer. In this manner, the path of the advancing probe and hence the location of the probe tip can be more clearly known in relation to a target imaged by the ultrasound device. In addition, the devices can include a sterile sleeve including a sterile probe guide such that the transducer housing itself, including the integral probe guide opening, can be separated from the patient by a sterile barrier. The devices can also include a clamp for clamping the probe in the probe guide. The devices can also include means and methods for imaging a virtual probe overlaying the sonogram formed by the ultrasound device such that a real time image of the probe approach to the target may be observed during and after probe placement.
Ultrasound Guided Probe Device And Sterilizable Shield For Same
US Patent:

Assignee:
SOMA DEVELOPMENT, LLC - Greenville SC
International Classification:
A61B 8/14
US Classification:
600459
Abstract:
Disclosed are medical probe devices and methods for use guiding of percutaneous probes during medical procedures. The probe devices include an ultrasound transducer housing having a passage therethrough configured to accommodate a probe. The devices can be utilized to guide a probe through the probe guide to a percutaneous target with real time visualization of the probe during the procedure. In addition, the devices can include a sterilizable shield including a sterile probe guide such that the transducer housing itself can be separated from a subject by a sterile barrier. The sterilizable shield can be a single-use shield that can prevent contamination and re-use of the shield. The devices can define a beneficial geometry conducive to use by a single operator that can be utilized for percutaneous targets near the skin surface and can enable excellent contact between the device and the skin surface of a subject.

Probe And System For Use With An Ultrasound Device
US Patent:
2013004, Feb 14, 2013
Filed:
Oct 11, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/649710
Inventors:
Stephen F. Ridley - Columbia SC, US
Assignee:
Soma Access Systems, LLC - Greenville SC
International Classification:
A61B 8/00
US Classification:
600424
Abstract:
Disclosed are ultrasound devices and methods for use in guiding a subdermal probe during a medical procedure. A device can be utilized to guide a probe through the probe guide to a subdermal site. In addition, a device can include a detector in communication with a processor. The detector can recognize the location of a target associated with the probe. The processor can utilize the data from the detector and create an image of a virtual probe that can accurately portray the location of the actual probe on a sonogram of a subdermal area. In addition, disclosed systems can include a set of correlation factors in the processor instructions. As such, the virtual probe image can be correlated with the location of the actual probe.
