Description:

Chattanooga’s Intelect TranSport 2782 moves clinic-grade ultrasound out of the treatment room and onto the sideline. A nickel-metal-hydride battery snaps into the 6.4-inch-tall console for five hours of cable-free therapy, while an optional wall bracket docks the 5 lb chassis beside a taping station. Pressing the soft-key cycles the 1 cm² or 5 cm² applicator between 1 MHz for deep structures and 3.3 MHz for superficial lesions; duty-cycle keys step through 10 %, 20 %, 50 % or continuous modes. The Peltier head-warming feature idles the sound face at 98 °F so athletes never jump when gel touches skin. Output intensity tracks in 0.1 W cm⁻² increments to 2.2 W cm⁻², backed by ERA and BNR data built into each transducer’s memory chip. A membrane keypad wipes with bleach, and the back-lit LCD counts down the programmable 30-minute timer from across the mat.

Economic Advantage:

Because the 2782 run-time battery eliminates extension cords, trainers treat players pitch-side instead of booking separate clinic slots—cutting return-to-play time and freeing one full appointment block per day. Consumables are limited to generic gel, and the field-swappable applicators keep the base in service even if a crystal fails, saving roughly $600 per repair compared with sealed-head portables.
