Ultrasonic Miniature Probes
Ultrasonic Miniature Probes for Endoscopy
At Probo Medical, we provide a specialized line of endoscopic ultrasonic miniature probes—new and refurbished—to expand your imaging capabilities and bring ultrasound detail into your endoscopic workflow. Designed for tight lumens and challenging access, these probes generate high-resolution, 360° radial ultrasound views within the working channel of your endoscopes.
Why Use Ultrasonic Miniature Probes?
- Enhanced diagnostic reach: These probes slip through standard endoscope channels to assess lesions beyond the mucosal surface without switching to a bulky echoendoscope.
- High-resolution imaging: Frequencies like 12 MHz and 20 MHz give excellent near-field resolution for submucosal and wall-layer visualization.
- 360° radial scanning: Mechanical radial motion delivers full circumferential views of the tissue surrounding the probe for comprehensive assessment.
- Balloon sheath compatible: Many models support balloon sheaths to improve acoustic coupling and reduce air artifact.
- Slim profiles for challenging anatomy: Some probes feature distal diameters as small as ~1.4 mm, enabling use in very narrow ducts or peripheral bronchi.
Sample Probes & Use Cases
Here are representative probes you might find in our inventory:
- Olympus UM-3R / UM-2R radial miniprobes — operate at 20 MHz or 12 MHz, insertable via standard 2.8 mm channels, provide 360° radial images for GI and lung applications.
- Olympus UM-S20-17S — ultra-slim probe (~1.4 mm distal) ideal for peripheral lung imaging or pancreatic and biliary ducts.
These are just a few examples; if you have a particular model in mind, we can help you source it or confirm compatibility.
