Analogic subsidiary BK Medical of Herlev, Denmark, has released a new compact surgical transducer, the company said.
BK's 88245 I- and T-shaped intraoperative transducer features selectable, perpendicular arrays that allow surgeons to access the abdominal cavity more easily. The transducer is the length of a matchstick, and it helps the user follow the path of a needle on the ultrasound image when taking free-hand biopsies from the front, back, left, or right of the transducer, according to the company.
