Endocavity Latex-Free Probe Covers
Designed specifically for sensitive exams such as transvaginal and transrectal procedures, our latex-free endocavity probe covers are made from high-quality materials like polyurethane (PU) and polyethylene (PE). These covers prioritize patient comfort and are ideal for healthcare facilities with patients who have latex sensitivities, providing a reliable barrier to help prevent cross-contamination. Available in sterile and non-sterile options, these covers support essential ultrasound probe infection prevention protocols. Our latex-free covers fit securely over the transducer for ease of use during delicate exams, making them a dependable choice for maintaining high standards in infection control.

Endocavity Probe Cover Quality and Disinfection Standards
While probe covers act as a critical barrier against contamination, the quality and effectiveness of these covers can vary significantly. According to a study published in Infection, Disease & Health in 2019 commercially produced transducer covers have a leakage rate between 0% and 5%, while condom covers, often used as an alternative, range from 0.4% to 13% leakage rates. Additionally, a 2007 study highlighted a 9% risk of perforation in condom covers used during transrectal biopsies. Such findings underscore that while endocavity covers reduce risk, they do not eliminate the need for high-level disinfection (HLD) between uses.
Sterile, single-use covers are recommended for endocavity procedures, particularly those with pore sizes below 30 nm, to provide optimal protection. Furthermore, probe covers should always be individually wrapped to maintain sterility prior to each exam, reducing the risk of patient cross-contamination.
