Medical Ultrasonic Probe Covers are Designed To Prevent Cross-Contamination during an Ultrasound Exam
Medical Ultrasonic Probe Covers Medical ultrasonic probe covers are commonly used in invasive ultrasound procedures such as prostate biopsy, transrectal examination, transvaginal examination, and others to reduce risk of microbial contamination. On the basis of material, ultrasonic probe covers can be of two types, such as latex probe covers and latex-free probe covers. Latex probe covers fit tightly over the probe tip and extend over the entire stick-like projection of the probe. Whereas, latex-free probe covers are available in a variable shapes and sizes to suit the need for the ultrasound procedure. Sterile ultrasonic probe covers often used in invasive procedures such as in biopsy of prostate and ovary as probe comes in contact with bodily fluids and may cause microbial infection. Medical ultrasonic probe covers help reduce the risk of infections, and protect medical devices or equipment from body fluids. Latex covers are often used for endocavity examinations, while poly...
