What's very good about the pad is that I can now go around the tip of the fibula and never lose contact; I can demarcate the tendons throughout. And especially in the, retro- and inframalleolar it happens very often in everyday life that the gel is not enough, there is no more contact. Even if you use a lot of gel, air can still get in between by exerting pressure and the image is no longer not good.

“This is a straightforward solution to get a stand-off to work with your probe. All you have to do is take it, put it on the probe, and it stays there."

“The image is clearer in comparison to conventional stand-off pads. There are more details, like superficial fluid collections visible due to less compression of underlying structures, a better quality of power and color doppler visualization of microcirculation in tendons, and it is a better option for ultrasound guided injections using sterile probe cover.”

“I think is a very good aid for ultrasound, for instance, in regions where contact with gel is partially impeded by osseous structures. On the foot, especially in the ankle region, you can really get a very good view of the tendons and ligaments, especially those of the lateral, but also the medial ankle.”

“The most interesting aspect is surely the better resolution, without changing technical parameters. Well, it’s the best ultrasound stand-off pad that I have so far tested in my career, and I have tested a lot and was never happy.”

“Specifically for breast ultrasound, the aiSon Focus is useful for the mammillary region, and the axilla, because it offsets the irregular surfaces, and reduces sound cancellations that are otherwise common.”
