ABSTRACT:
A cover for an ultrasound probe is cup shaped and has an opening in the cup base. The cover is configured to fit onto the probe and maintain the cover on the probe with the cup base being a selected distance from the probe base to define a volume between the probe base and the cup base. A pliable, sound conductive membrane is attached to the cup adjacent the base and covers the opening. The membrane is sized to substantially fill the volume between the probe base and the cup base so that when the cup is attached to the ultrasound probe the probe base will be in contact with the membrane. The membrane is sufficiently pliable such that when placed on a portion of the human body the membrane will conform to that portion of a human body against which the membrane is placed.
