An ultrasound transducer assembly, comprising an ultrasound transducer and a transducer holder for a least temporarily positioning at least portions of the ultrasound transducer on or proximate to a treatment site, the transducer holder comprising a central body, the central body comprising a cavity for receiving and holding at least portions of the ultrasound transducer, the transducer holder characterized in that the holder further comprises a plurality of arms extending away from the central body, wherein at least one arm is at least partially independently positionable with respect to at least one other arm.
An ultrasound transducer assembly comprising:
- an ultrasound transducer;
- and
- a transducer holder for at least temporarily positioning a least portions of the ultrasound transducer on or proximate to a treatment site, the transducer holder comprising:
- a central body having a cavity for receiving and holding at least portions of the ultrasound transducer;
- a plurality of arms extending away from the central body, wherein at least one arm is at least partially independently positionable with respect to at least one other arm;
- and
- an outer circumference selected from the group consisting of a daisy shape, star shape, sun shape, cross shape, or clover shape.
