Abstract
An ultrasound transducer interface pad includes a substrate layer having a first surface and a second surface. A hydrophilic layer is formed on the first surface of the substrate. The hydrophilic layer is configured to be hydrated to provide an acoustic coupling between the ultrasound transducer and a patient during use.
Claims19
An ultrasound transducer interface pad, comprising:
- a substrate layer having a first surface and a second surface;
- and
- a hydrophilic layer formed on the first surface of the substrate,
