Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a water bag device for an ultrasonic probe easy in making waterproof and inexpensive by hermetically closing the opening part of a water bag by inserting an inner frame in the water bag and engaging said inner frame with an outer frame to fix the water bag to the ultrasonic probe. CONSTITUTION:An inner frame 1 is inserted in a water bag 2 and an ultrasonic medium 6 such as distilled water or a physiological saline solution is injected in the water bag 2 while the water bag 2 is hermetically closed by a rubber band to be made waterproof. The assembly thus formed is received in an outer frame 3 to complete the assembling of a water bag device for an ultrasonic probe. When this water bag device for the ultrasonic probe is mounted on an ultrasonic probe 5, the ultrasonic probe 5 is pushed in the handle 31 of the outer frame 3 of the water bag device for the ultrasonic probe to engage an engaging projection 5A with an engaging groove 31A and the handle 31 is fixed to the ultrasonic probe 5. By this method, since assembling by an adhesive or a screw is unnecessary and the number of parts are reduced, the cost price of a product becomes low.
