Abstract
An ergonomic ultrasound handle device can include a handle body. An ergonomic ultrasound handle device can include a clamp body connected to the handle for engaging an ultrasound transducer, the clamp body including a top end and a bottom end, with a clip disposed on the top end of the clamp body for maintaining the ultrasound transducer in engagement with the handle body. A method of ergonomically controlling an ultrasound transducer can provide the ergonomic ultrasound handle device. The method can include removably attaching the handle device to the handle of an ultrasound transducer. The method can include controlling the ultrasound transducer by applying pressure and motion to the handle, whereby the handle transmits the motion and pressure to the transducer.
