A transducer coupling apparatus is provided including a base (12) having a first surface with a biocompatible adhesive (24) thereon for removably securing said base to a skin surface of a patient, said base having a second surface configured to operatively maintain an ultrasound transducer (16) in ultrasound coupling engagement with the patient. The apparatus can further include a hydrogel (18) positioned between the adhesive and the first surface to facilitate ultrasound coupling with the patient. One of the base and the hydrogel can include a marking (20) for aiding in sighting a treatment site.
L'invention concerne un appareil de couplage de transducteur comprenant une base (12) qui a une première surface sur laquelle un adhésif (24) biocompatible permet de fixer de manière amovible ladite base à une surface de peau du patient. Ladite base présente une seconde surface conçue pour maintenir de manière fonctionnelle un transducteur ultrasonore (16) en position de couplage ultrasonore avec le patient. L'appareil peut également comporter un hydrogel (18) placé entre l'adhésif et la première surface de façon à faciliter le couplage ultrasonore avec le patient. L'un ou l'autre de ladite base et de l'hydrogel peut comporter un marquage (20) qui facilite la visualisation d'un site de traitement.
