This is the probe that attaches to your pad/phone and has been available about 2 years now.
They have a probe that they claim is suitable for superficial structures and vascular access.
Anyone try/buy yet?
We're looking for something small and portable and it might be perfect for surgical mission trips.

I love that concept. (Plus I like Philips as a company.) The L12-4 transducer looks like exactly what you need. How much does it cost? It's not compatible with iOS devices, though.
Philips said:
Apple does not support Lumify at this time, but we are always exploring opportunities to expand support for all platforms.

Also take a look at GE Vscan family (although I like the Philips concept much more). Some bloggers have been using it successfully for deep (abdominal) scans, so I guess the superficial probes should be decent, too.

I'm waiting for Philips to develop a TEE probe that can be compatible with a tablet.

Do you mean a TTE? No doubt in my mind it already exists. Marketing gurus are just reading their tea leaves.

I actually meant TEE. I was half joking/half serious. Plenty of portable TTE probes exist: GE VScan and Philips Lumify are a few examples. I have just always found the TEE to be easier for me to use and to interpret the data; mainly because most of us have been exposed to intraop TEE more than we have to TTE.
