which is coupled to a device handle 66 that contains a source or generation means for the production of ultrasonic energy shown in phantom in the figure as 66 that is transmitted to said probe to enable its function in the example shown the probe diameter decreases at defined intervals 14 18 20 and 22 in this example probe interval 18 has at least one groove 45 at the end proximal to probe handle 66 groove 45 is capable of being engaged by the locking mechanisms at the dispensing and disposal ends of the container 30 so as to constrain the probe within the cylindrical volume of said container thereby enabling its dispensation and disposal without requiring direct handling of the probe itself 0038 fig3 shows a cross sectional view of collar 34 comprising of two segments a first segment 42 proximal to the cylindrical section not shown and a second segment 44 distal to the tube between the first and second segments is a locking mechanism capable of being engaged by the user in one embodiment the locking means can be engaged by a lever not shown in this view the lever extends laterally to the outside of the collar assembly allowing articulation by the user the lever engages the locking mechanism causing it to slide laterally within a groove.
