Abstract

The invention provides an ultrasound probe (10) preferably configured for insertion into the oesophagus of a sedated patient. The probe is formed from a medically acceptable polymeric material which is preferably transparent to ultraviolet light. This enables the probe to be assembled by directing ultraviolet light through one or more of the probe components to activate an ultraviolet activated adhesive.
