Abstract:
Devices and methods for protecting and transporting medical probes including, but not limited to, ultrasound transducers and more specifically ultrasound transducers designed for transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). A transport apparatus may include a housing for protecting a control housing of a medical probe and an elongate member extending from the housing. The elongate member may be configured to engage the insertion tube of the probe and maintain an arch shape of the insertion tube during transport to prevent damage from over-flexing of the insertion tube.

Claim (Index 16):
An apparatus for transporting a medical probe, comprising:\n a housing configured for receipt of a body of the medical probe, wherein the housing comprises a movable portion to provide access to an internal cavity of the housing when the movable portion is in an open configuration, wherein the internal cavity is sized for receipt of the body of the medical probe, wherein the housing is configured to envelop the body of the medical probe when the movable portion is in a closed configuration, wherein a wall of the housing comprises a window through which an insertion tube of the medical probe is extendable outside the housing in the closed configuration; and an elongate member that extends from a portion of the housing adjacent the window and configured for receipt of the insertion tube.
