Description
The Aspen Protek Transesophageal (TEE) Probe Covers are kitted for transesophageal probes, in one tapered size of 1.75 in to 1 in by 48 in. Two configurations add a bite block with sterile gel and 4 tapes, and the third pairs the cover with 4 tapes on its own. Sterile and non-sterile options let the department match the kit to the procedure.
- Built for TEE Probes – The transesophageal kits cover TEE probes in the Protek line.
- Bite Block Kits – Two configurations include a bite block with sterile gel and 4 tapes.
- Tapered 48 in Size – The cover tapers from 1.75 in to 1 in across its 48 in length.
- Sterile or Non-Sterile – One sterile and two non-sterile configurations cover both department routines.
- Tapes in Every Kit – Each configuration includes 4 tapes for securing the cover.
Probe Covers for Transesophageal Ultrasound Probes
Transesophageal exams put the probe on a longer, narrower path than general purpose work, and the cover has to match that path. This style answers with a single tapered size, 1.75 in narrowing to 1 in over 48 in, shaped for TEE probes. Two of the three kits are built around the full procedure setup, adding a bite block and sterile gel alongside the cover and tapes. The covers form the working barrier for the exam, helping minimize cross-contamination and protecting the probe through the procedure. Every configuration is single-use, in sterile and non-sterile formats.

Why Ultrasound Teams Choose Aspen Protek Transesophageal (TEE) Probe Covers
A TEE procedure stalls when the kit on the shelf is missing a piece the setup expects. These kits answer by putting the bite block and sterile gel in the box with the cover and tapes, in both sterile and non-sterile formats. The single tapered size also removes the sizing question, since every configuration shares the same 48 in cover.
- Complete Procedure Kits – Bite block, gel, cover, and tapes arrive together, so setup does not wait on a second shelf.
- One Size, No Sorting – A single tapered size across all three configurations keeps ordering and stocking simple.
- Both Sterility Routines Covered – The bite block kit comes sterile or non-sterile, matching how the department runs the exam.
- Built for the TEE Path – The narrow 1 in end and 48 in length are shaped for transesophageal probes, not adapted from a general cover.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are these covers used for?
They cover transesophageal (TEE) ultrasound probes during exams, forming a barrier between the probe and the patient. The barrier helps minimize cross-contamination and protects the probe through the procedure.
Which kits include the bite block?
Two of the three configurations include a bite block, kitted with sterile gel and 4 tapes. One of those kits is sterile and the other is non-sterile.
What size are the covers?
All three configurations share one tapered size, 1.75 in to 1 in by 48 in. The metric equivalent is 4cm-3cm by 122cm.
Are sterile options available?
Yes, one configuration is sterile, the bite block kit with sterile gel and 4 tapes. The other two configurations are non-sterile.
What comes in the tapes-only kit?
That configuration pairs the probe cover with 4 tapes for securing it. It does not include the bite block or gel.
Can the covers be reused?
No, the covers are single-use and are discarded after the procedure. Open a fresh kit for every procedure.
