ABSTRACT:
An intraoperative or endocavity ultrasound probe for insertion into a patient is provided. An adaptable or adjustable section is provided between the handle and the transducer for rotating the transducer relative to the handle prior to insertion within the patient. The adjustable or adaptable section maintains the adjusted or rotated position while the probe is in use within the patient. The adjustable or adaptable section stays in the same pre-bent position, such as by using a memory-less device or material, and is free of user adjustment while the probe is in use.
