Our repair experts<\/a> have written another blog post providing a glimpse into TEE probe repair. Read on to learn more!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

What is the purpose of mesh under the bending rubber of a TEE probe?<\/p>\n

Is it necessary? Yes, it is. Why? Mesh keeps the articulation ribs from puncturing the bending rubber as well as adding stability to the articulation section.<\/p>\n

During repair on a TEE probe, you may be surprised to find the mesh missing. If you are performing a complete overhaul, then it\u2019s fairly straightforward. During the reassembly process, you install mesh and go from there.<\/p>\n

But let\u2019s say that you\u2019re evaluating a probe with some minor repairs that don\u2019t require tip removal. Everything looks great, but something just seems a little off. Here are some telltale signs that mesh might be missing under the bending rubber:<\/p>\n

--Look for an unusually loose articulation section. If the steering cables are adjusted properly, the bending section should be rigid when not locked in.<\/p>\n

--Visually inspect the bending rubber. Most of the time you will see evidence of mesh underneath. If you can see the ribs though that\u2019s usually not a good sign.<\/p>\n

--And finally, by feel. If the mesh is missing you can easily feel the articulating ribs underneath. In this case a simple repair now becomes a full overhaul. Time-consuming, yes, but completely necessary!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
