You could hold it with the opposite hand while directing the US with the other, or fashion a holding stand to rest the pad on that then sits underneath your extended shaft to hold it while administering the US heat from above.
The bag material that comes with my food saver is textured which would likely interrupt the sound transmission.
I really like Kyrpas idea of creating a US phantom with a DIY gel kit. Essentially a 2-3cm wall thickness tube with an inner diameter a bit smaller than the flaccid stretched shaft thickness, and a slit down the side.
I would definitely be making one, but I’ll be experimenting with RF heating instead and won’t be needing US gel. If the RF doesn’t work though, I’ll be making a phantom.
