ABSTRACT:
The invention contemplates an improved strap or bandage mounting of a socket element for removably engaged coupling of an ultrasonic transducer element to an afflicted limb. In a preferred embodiment, a radially flanged annular socket element is formed with outward lugs at axial offset from the flange, for preliminary assembly to a length of bandage material which has been cut to provide an opening for registration with the bore of the socket element, with the flange surrounding the opening and against one side of the bandage, while the outward lugs engage the other side of the bandage and also assure the desired registration. A softly compliant pad having a similar opening is removably securable to the flange-mounted side of the bandage to hold registration of the same central opening for all components and to afford direct access to an afflicted body-limb region through the central opening, when the thus-assembled bandage has been wrapped around the limb to securely position the socket element for reception of the transducer of a treatment head. Bayonet-locking lug formations on or near the transducer part of the head coact with lug formations on the socket element to retain the transducer during treatment of an afflicted bone through gel-coupled flesh at the situs of injury.
