Abstract

Abstract Translated from French Une Sonde émettrice/réceptrice d'ultrasons (1) implantable dans le corps humain ou animal est destinée à être appliquée au contact d'une paroi d'un organe (15) pour permettre une exploration par ultrasons, notamment par effet Doppler. La sonde comporte des moyens supports (8) de transducteurs piézo-électriques émetteurs récepteurs (6), un enrobage (10) et des moyens (3) de liaison avec l'extérieur du corps véhiculant les informations émises reçues par/sur la sonde (1). Les moyens supports (8) et l'enrobage (10) sont configurés et formés de façon à permettre l'extraction de la sonde (1), du corps sans intervention chirurgicale complexe, notamment par simple traction de l'extérieur sur les moyens (3) de liaison. An ultrasound emitting / receiving probe (1) implantable in the human or animal body is intended to be applied in contact with a wall of an organ (15) to allow exploration by ultrasound, in particular by Doppler effect. The probe comprises support means (8) of piezoelectric transducers transmitter receivers (6), a coating (10) and means (3) of connection with the outside of the body conveying the transmitted information received by / on the probe ( 1). The support means (8) and the coating (10) are configured and formed so as to allow the extraction of the probe (1) from the body without complex surgical intervention, in particular by simple traction from the outside on the means ( 3) liaison.
