Dynamic Duplex Ultrasound Reveals with ProbeFix Dynamic Hidden Venous Reflux During Movement

A recent pilot study demonstrates that dynamic duplex ultrasound (D‑DUS) can uncover important clinical findings that remain invisible in traditional static duplex exams. By scanning during actual movement, such as walking, tiptoe motions, and squats, researchers detected previously unseen reflux in 40% of participants, despite normal results in static assessment.

Using a Clarius handheld ultrasound stabilized with the ProbeFix Dynamic support, the probe remained securely in place throughout all dynamic activities. This enabled real‑time visualization of how the calf muscle pump nearly compresses the deep veins completely and how the small saphenous vein changes in diameter during motion. This dynamic approach offers new value in:
1. Identifying subtle or positional venous reflux.
2. Understanding calf muscle pump function.
3. Supporting early diagnosis of venous insufficiency.

The study highlights how portable ultrasound combined with ProbeFix Dynamic hands‑free support opens the door to a new era of vascular assessment, one that reflects what truly happens during natural, functional movement.
