The biocompatible ScanTac Strips will be used during medical diagnostic ultrasound imaging to couple sound waves between the patient’s body and medical imaging electronics. ScanTac Strips are biocompatible, sterile, and, being solid, leave no residue. They are single use and disposable. ScanTac Strips are intended for use in sterile fields substituting for an ultrasound coupling gel or fluid, as currently used, in combination with a latex, polyurethane, polypropylene or other polymeric protective transducer cover.
The ScanTac Membrane is used for transcutaneous ultrasound imaging over wounds and to enhance imaging contact over difficult geometries. The ScanTac Membrane has a backing on one side that is removed prior to transcutaneous scanning. The Membrane is placed onto the patient, and is sufficiently adherent to remain in place during the scan due to the adhesive nature of the hydrogel. Either water of ultrasound scanning gel is placed on the exposed surface of the membrane prior to scanning.
