PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a spacer for mounting a versatile ultrasonography probe being easily and surely mountable without using a mounting member even when shapes of the ultrasonography probes are different in some degree.SOLUTION: A mounting spacer 10 consisting of a gel elastic body having adhesiveness, includes a probe end covering part 1a for covering an end of the ultrasonography probe, and adhesive fixing parts 1b that are consecutively provided at both sides of the probe end covering part 1a and are adhesively fixed to the outer surface of the probe. The thickness D2 of the adhesive fixing part 1b is defined thinner than the thickness D1 of the probe end covering part 1a. The thickness D2 of the adhesive fixing part 1b is formed thinner than the thickness D1 of the probe end covering part 1a so as to improve flexibility and plasticity of the adhesive fixing part 1b. Consequently, the spacer is mounted while flexibly deforming the adhesive fixing part 1b following the uneven shape of the outer surface of the probe and surely sticking the adhesive fixing part thereto by adhesive force of the gel elastic body without using the mounting member. |
