Ultrasound Probe Covers: Essential Hygiene for Medical Imaging

In medical imaging, patient safety and infection prevention are non-negotiable. Ultrasound probe covers serve as critical disposable barriers during endocavity procedures (transvaginal and transrectal examinations), preventing cross-contamination between patients while maintaining acoustic clarity for accurate diagnostics. These single-use sheaths protect both the ultrasound transducer and the patient, significantly reducing the risk of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in gynecology, urology, obstetrics, and colorectal settings. 

High-quality probe covers are an essential part of every clinic’s infection control protocol—ensuring compliance with strict hygiene standards while delivering consistent imaging performance. 

 

Why Ultrasound Probe Covers Are Indispensable 

During endocavity ultrasound examinations, the probe comes into direct contact with mucous membranes. Without a reliable barrier: 

  • Pathogens (bacteria, viruses, fungi) can remain on the probe surface even after high-level disinfection. 
  • Micro-tears or residual gel can harbour contaminants. 
  • Reprocessing errors increase transmission risk. 

Disposable probe covers eliminate these concerns by providing an impermeable layer that is discarded after each patient—making them the gold-standard recommendation in international guidelines (including those from WHO, CDC, and local health authorities). 

Ultrasound probe covers are manufactured using the same premium natural latex and rigorous electronic testing protocols used in our high-end condom range. This ensures that every barrier—whether for medical diagnostics or personal protection—meets the strict ISO 4074 and ISO 13485 international standards. 

 

Premium Features of Professional-Grade Probe Covers 

Our ultrasound probe covers are manufactured to the highest medical standards using premium natural latex for optimal performance and safety: 

  • Material & Thickness — 0.08–0.09 mm high-grade natural rubber latex: strong yet highly elastic, ensuring a snug fit without air pockets that could distort imaging. 
  • Sterility Options — Available in individually sterile (foil-sealed, gamma ray-sterilized) and non-sterile bulk packaging to suit different clinical needs. 
  • Dimensions — Standard 200 mm length, with 28 mm or 34 mm diameter options—compatible with most endocavity transducers.  
  • Design — Straight-walled, round-ended, smooth surface for easy rolling application and removal; fully compatible with ultrasound transmission gel (no acoustic interference). 
  • Packaging — Individually wrapped in medical-grade foil pouches with easy-tear opening—maintaining sterility until the moment of use. 

These specifications deliver crystal-clear imaging while forming a robust physical barrier. 

Compliance and Registration 

All our probe covers are: 

  • Officially registered with the Malaysian Medical Device Authority (MDA). MMDA Registration No: GA2997320-43686  
  • Manufactured in ISO 13485-certified facilities 
  • CE-marked and compliant with international standards 

Clinics and hospitals can use them with full confidence in regulatory compliance. 

Who Benefits from High-Quality Probe Covers? 

  • Gynaecology & Obstetrics clinics (TVS for fertility, pregnancy monitoring) 
  • Urology & Andrology centres (transrectal prostate scans) 
  • Colorectal and general surgery departments 
  • Fertility (IVF) centres 
  • Private radiology and diagnostic imaging practices 
  • Hospital ultrasound departments 

Using premium probe covers not only meets infection control requirements but also protects expensive transducers from gel residue and wear—extending equipment lifespan. 

Conclusion: Safety, Performance, and Compliance in Every Procedure 

Ultrasound probe covers are a small investment that delivers enormous value—protecting patients, safeguarding staff, maintaining diagnostic accuracy, and ensuring full regulatory compliance during every endocavity examination.
