Convex probes, or curved probes have a large footprint, a convex beam shape, and a low frequency (2.5 – 5Mhz). Its low frequency makes it a good probe for in-depth examinations. Therefore, it is used for abdominal, vascular, nerve, musculoskeletal, and OB/GYN ultrasound examinations. Additionally, there is a subtype called micro convex with a much smaller footprint, which is typically used in neonatal and paediatrics.
