USG Cardiac Phased Array Probe Prop for Healthcare Simulation

A model created because of one kind message

This model exists thanks to a supporter named @jclegg84, who donated $10 and wrote:

“Hoping you get the cardiac probe done. My wife would love it-she teaches ultrasound.”

That message reached me at exactly the right moment.

I was sitting in front of a huge list of possible medical models for my Printables account and experiencing complete motivation paralysis. Then I saw this message-and immediately started working.
A few hours later, the model was ready.

Thank you, @jclegg84, for the support and motivation. Please say hello to your wife! I hope this probe will be useful in her ultrasound workshops and that her students enjoy using it. You are both great!

About the model

This is a 3D-printable prop representing a cardiac phased array ultrasound probe.

It is intended for:

• Point-of-care ultrasound workshops;

• Cardiac ultrasound and echocardiography demonstrations;

• Healthcare simulation scenarios;

• Ultrasound probe-positioning practice;

• OSCE and clinical skills stations;

• Equipment familiarisation;

• Low-cost simulation environments where a real ultrasound probe is unavailable or too expensive to dedicate to training.

The model may be used to demonstrate common cardiac ultrasound windows and probe positions, including parasternal, apical, subcostal, and suprasternal approaches.

To make a workshop more interactive, instructors can display corresponding ultrasound images or video clips on a tablet screen after the learner positions the probe correctly.

Part of my ultrasound probe collection

My first ultrasound probe model, the USG Curvilinear Probe Prop for Healthcare Simulation, was published in November 2023. As of July 2026, it has been downloaded approximately 345 times.

Several colleagues have told me that they use it in their courses, including a friend from the ADAC HEMS Academy in Germany.

The USG Linear Probe Prop for Healthcare Simulation was published in July 2024, approximately one year later. As of July 2026, it has been downloaded approximately 234 times.

There are many ultrasound probe models available online, and I am genuinely happy that some doctors, universities, simulation centres, and educational programmes have chosen to use mine.

Are you using one of my models in your teaching? Please share your story with me. I sometimes present examples of how these models are used in real educational programmes during conference presentations, including at EUSEM 2025.

Request a medical simulation model

I am also happy to consider creating a model for your healthcare simulation or medical education project completely free of charge and publishing it openly on Printables.
I cannot guarantee that I will be able to create every requested model, but I will definitely consider the idea and try whenever the project is feasible.
Just send me a message.

Important safety notice

This is not real medical equipment.
It is a non-functional simulation prop intended exclusively for education, demonstration, healthcare simulation, and recreational printing.
It must not be connected to an ultrasound system or used for the diagnosis, examination, monitoring, or treatment of real patients.

I hope this cardiac ultrasound probe prop helps make your workshops more realistic, accessible, and enjoyable!
