Hewlett Packard M2243A Tip Protector OMNIPLANE TEE Transducer

Hewlett Packard M2243A Tip Protector OMNIPLANE TEE Transducer

The Hewlett Packard M2243A is a critical protective accessory designed specifically for the OMNIPLANE™ Multiplane Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) transducer series. The distal tip of a TEE probe houses the delicate acoustic array and the complex steering mechanism; the M2243A provides a semi-rigid, molded polymer barrier that shields these high-value components from impact, abrasion, and environmental contaminants during non-clinical phases.

Technical specifications

• Brand: Hewlett
• Model: / REF: M2243A
• Material: Medical-Grade High-Impact Molded Polymer

Additional product details

• Manufacturer: Hewlett Packard (Compatible with Philips Healthcare)
• Series: OMNIPLANE™ / OMNIPLANE™ II / OMNIPLANE™ III
• Product Type: TEE Transducer Tip Protector
• Length: Approximately 5 Inches (12.7 cm)
• Configuration: Single-piece, non-sterile protective sleeve
• Distal Array Preservation: The internal geometry of the M2243A is calibrated to the exact dimensions of the OMNIPLANE™ tip. It prevents the acoustic lens from coming into contact with hard surfaces, which can lead to "delamination" or crystal damage—the leading causes of expensive TEE probe repairs.
• Steering Mechanism Protection: By sliding over the articulating section of the probe, the protector helps maintain the distal tip in a neutral, non-deflected position during storage, reducing long-term stress on the internal steering wires.
• Hygiene & Handling Support: Using a tip protector during transport reduces the risk of the distal end swinging and striking door frames or equipment carts. It also provides a clean surface for clinicians to grip when removing the probe from its storage hook.
• Durable Polymer Construction: The high-density polymer is resistant to common medical cleaning agents and is designed to maintain its structural shape through years of daily use.
• Cardiology & Echo Labs: Routine storage and bedside transport of TEE probes.
• Surgical & Anesthesia Departments: Protection of the probe during perioperative monitoring in the OR.
• Sterile Processing (SPD): Safeguarding the probe tip during the transport leg between the point of use and the HLD workstation.
• Status: New – In Original Manufacturer's Packaging.
• Integrity:
