ProbeFix is a great tool for msk ultrasound and has the potential to be a gamechanger in standardising measurements when scanning in motion
The solution
ProbeFix Dynamic: Hands-free. Reliable. During function.
Enables scanning during function to improve diagnostic accuracy, optimise treatment and make safer return-to-play decisions.
- Securely fixes linear ultrasound probes to the target area in a comfortable, patient‑friendly way
- Frees the clinician to move around, interact with the patient and adjust exercises or equipment, instead of being tied to holding the probe.
- Maintains a stable imaging window so that protocols and measurements become truly reproducible
- Compatible with linear probes from leading ultrasound manufacturers inlcuding mobile and wireless ultrasound systems
- Improves ergonomics for clinican by reducing static, awkward postures and the need to hold the probe manually for longer periods
- Detect functional deficits that remain invisible in static imaging
- Establish standardised, reproducible protocols for recurring clinical questions
- Make functional motion visible by assessing muscles, tendons and joints under real-life load
- Monitor healing with objective, visually trackable documentation over time
- Save time through hands-free scanning and clearly defined assessment protocols
- Increase utilisation of existing ultrasound systems with a new, high-value application area
- Offer a differentiating premium service (e.g. return-to-play assessments, preventive screenings)
- Reduce the need for expensive additional imaging in selected cases where dynamic ultrasound provides sufficient information
- Enable faster and more confident decisions that help shorten time away from sport, especially in high-performance settings
