Abstract
A protective cover or grid for an ultrasound transducer comprises a series of vertically spaced members separated from one another by a pre-determined distance, each member being of substantially uniform width and arranged in a cylindrical shape. The protection grid includes a cavity for receiving a cylindrical transducer. The protection grid operates as both a physical protection mechanism for protecting the cylindrical transducer housed therein as well as operating as an impedance matching device.
