The Vaginal Tactile Ultrasound Imager obtains high-resolution mapping of pressures, ultrasound images and assesses the strength of pelvic floor muscles within the vagina. It is used in a medical setting to acquire the pressures, ultrasound images and store the corresponding data. It also provides visualization, analysis tools and information. The real time data as well as the analysis information can then be viewed with an intention of assisting in the diagnosis and evaluation. The device is intended for use by physicians, surgeons and medically trained personnel.
A mobile, mains electricity (AC-powered) assembly of devices intended to quantitatively measure, map, and display pelvic floor elasticity/strength values (e.g., pressure mapping of pelvic floor structures, pelvic floor muscle strength during muscle contractions) to aid the diagnosis and evaluation of vaginal and pelvic floor conditions. It consists of a central analysis unit with dedicated software, a monitor, and a transvaginal probe with built-in pressure/motion sensors.
