Cover, ultrasonic probe, intraoperative

Protective covers are medical devices placed over imaging probes or instruments to provide a sterile field and minimise cross contamination during diagnostic imaging or surgical procedures on the body surface, in intra-cavity locations, and during intraoperative procedures. These covers enable use of transducers in scanning and needle-guided procedures for body surface, endocavity and intra-operative diagnostic ultrasound whilst preventing transfer of microorganisms, body fluids and particulate material to the patient and healthcare worker during device reuse.
