To provide an ultrasound probe holder which houses an ultrasound probe to protect its output surface from which ultrasound is output when the ultrasound probe is not used, and holds the ultrasound probe such that a gel does not drop down when the ultrasound probe is used.SOLUTION: The ultrasound probe holder holds and houses an ultrasound probe which has a head portion including an output surface from which ultrasound is output and a grip portion extending from the head portion. The ultrasound probe holder includes: a bottom portion which includes a first opening of a size that prohibits the head portion and the grip portion of the ultrasound probe from passing therethrough； and a tube which extends from the bottom portion and includes a second opening of a size that prohibits the head portion and the grip portion of the ultrasound probe from passing therethrough at an end when extended, and which has a slit connected to the second opening and the first opening on the bottom portion.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4【課題】超音波プローブを使用しないときには、超音波プローブの超音波を出力する出力面を保護して収納し、超音波プローブを使用するときには、ゲルが滴下しないよう超音波プローブを保持する。【解決手段】超音波を出力する出力面を有するヘッド部と、ヘッド部から伸びる把持部と、を有する超音波プローブを保持および収納する超音波プローブホルダであって、超音波プローブのヘッド部および把持部が通過しない大きさの第１の開口部を有する底部と、底部から伸び、伸びた先の端部に超音波プローブのヘッド部および把持部が通過できる大きさの第２の開口部を有し、第２の開口部と底部の第１の開口部とにつながるスリットを有する筒部と、を有する。【選択図】図４
