Problems solved by technology

However, in this prior art application it was reported that these gels were insufficient as the sole adhesion medium for adhering the ultrasound probe to the patient's skin area
[0010] A further challenge when applying such couplants is that air venting from the couplant should be easily achievable
The latter is not straightforward as a limited amount of couplant should be used to avoid disturbing the patch's adhesive layer (if present), but this leads to insufficient coupling when pressure is applied to the patch to expel such air bubbles. Risk of the agent remaining between the patch and the patient's body

Embodiment Construction

[0038] It should be understood that the drawings are only schematic and not drawn to scale. It should also be understood that the same reference numbers are used throughout the figures to indicate the same or similar parts.

[0039] figure 1 A cross-sectional view of a wearable patch 10 according to an embodiment of the invention is schematically depicted. The wearable patch 10 includes a housing 20 into which an ultrasound transducer 30 is housed. The housing may be any suitable container, such as a container fabricated from a polymer or metal (eg, aluminum) or a combination thereof. Inside the housing 20 there is a carrier, such as a PCB, on which the ultrasound transducer (and optionally some other electronic components) may be mounted, as will be explained in further detail below. The ultrasonic transducer 30 may comprise one or more ultrasonic transducer units arranged in a one-dimensional or two-dimensional array of transducer units or elements, such as by way of non-...

Abstract

A wearable patch (10) comprising an ultrasound transducer (30) mounted on the patch, the ultrasound transducer comprising a major surface for contacting the skin of a wearer of the patch, said major surface being covered by a layer (33) of a soluble adhesive precursor, the wearable patch further comprising a seal ring (40) extending from the patch, said seal ring surrounding the ultrasound transducer. Also disclosed are a wearable patch kit, assembly and application method.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a wearable patch comprising an ultrasound transducer mounted on said patch. [0002] The invention also relates to a wearable patch assembly comprising such a wearable patch. [0003] The invention also relates to a wearable patch kit comprising such a wearable patch. [0004] The invention also relates to a method of applying such a wearable patch to an area of ​​skin of a patient. Background technique [0005] Ultrasound data acquisition, such as ultrasound imaging, is an increasingly important diagnostic tool. In addition to high-resolution imaging in hospitals and other medical practices, ultrasound imaging is increasingly used for patient monitoring over extended periods of time. In such cases, the patient typically wears a patch comprising an ultrasound transducer comprising one or more ultrasound transducer units, which is used to monitor the patient's anatomy over such a period of time a specific part of the...
