Abstract
A probe protector for protecting a heartbeat-synchronous pulse wave detecting probe set on a limb of a living subject, from contacting a medical staff attending to the subject on the side of the limb, the limb being supported on a support member having a side surface, the protector including (a) a flat portion adapted to be inserted between the support member, and a part of the limb on which part the detecting probe is set, the flat portion having a pair of opposite ends, (b) a protect portion extending from one of the opposite ends of the flat portion in a direction away from the flat portion, the protect portion protecting the detecting probe from contacting the medical staff, and (c) a stop portion extending from the one end of the flat portion in a direction opposite to the direction in which the protect portion extends, the stop portion being adapted to engage the side surface of the support member when the medical staff contacts the protect portion, so that the probe protector is prevented from being displaced more than a limited distance in the direction in which the medical staff moves.
