A device for use in placing a non-sterile sensor probe (70) such as an ultrasound scanning transducer in a desired position within a patient's body (12), with a probe receiving tube (36) having a closed distal end (38) so that a probe inserted within the tube through an open proximal end (49) located outside the patient's body is isolated from contact with or contamination of the interior of the patient's body. The probe receiving tube is attached to, and extends alongside an elongate support member (18) which aids in placement of the probe receiving tube in a location proximate an organ to be observed by use of a sensor probe in the probe receiving tube. The elongate support member may be a chest drain tube.

L'invention concerne un dispositif de placement, dans une position voulue dans le corps (12) d'un patient, d'une sonde (70) de capteur non stérile, telle qu'un transducteur de balayage ultrasonore, et ce au moyen d'un tube (36) récepteur de sonde dont l'extrémité distale (38) est fermée de façon à isoler de tout contact avec l'intérieur du corps du patient ou de toute contamination pouvant s'y produire, la sonde que l'on insère, via une extrémité proximale ouverte (49) du tube, située à l'extérieur du corps du patient. On attache à un élément de support de forme allongée (18) le tube récepteur de la sonde, lequel s'étend le long de cet élément servant au placement du tube récepteur dans un endroit proche d'un organe à observer à l'aide de la sonde située dans le tube. L'élément de support oblong peut être un drain thoracique.
