What is a Ultrasound Probe Cover?
Various types of cables, sensors, probes and tubes are used in medical centers. In many cases, especially in the operating room, angiography and radiography room, the sterility of these instruments is very important. Since most of these instruments are not sterilizable or have a short lifespan after sterilization, it is necessary to use sterile covers to protect them from contamination and infection. In this article, we will learn more about Disposable Ultrasound (Sonography) Probe Cover.
What is Probe Cover?
In many surgeries, probes must be used in a sterile manner. However, it is very difficult to sterilize these probes. Therefore, using a sterile cover for these probes is very practical and useful. These barriers are called Probe Cover.
Due to the wide use of these covers in ultrasound probes, the name of ultrasound probe cover has been termed.
Due to the importance of quality control and the property of preventing the contamination of the covers, the probe cover is produced and supplied as a disposable cover.

The difference between plastic and latex covers
Latex covers take the form of the probe due to its elasticity and prevent the creation of noise and disturbing sound waves. However, these covers are short and are supplied in a non-sterile state. Therefore, in cases where we need sterile environments, we should use plastic, disposable and sterile covers.
