How Does Transvaginal Probe Cover Ensure Patient’s Safety and Comfort?

The healthcare professional inserts a probe inside the vagina during transvaginal ultrasound. This medical procedure is done to have clear images of the uterus, ovaries and other pelvic organs. It effectively diagnoses and monitors health conditions in the abdomen and pelvic region.

Medical practitioners should ensure the comfort and safety of patients during this test. This is why the CLEARPROBE™ transvaginal probe cover is used.

Latex or Latex-Free Transvaginal Probe Covers- Which Is Best?

Previously, latex probe covers were popular among healthcare practitioners. But, they come with lots of disadvantages.

Some issues linked with latex-based probe covers are-

1. Allergies

Allergies or sensitivity caused by latex covers are crucial issues impacting the patient's health for many cases.

2.  Discomfort: Latex can sometimes cause discomfort to patients due to its texture and potential for causing skin irritation.

3. Environment and Sustainability Factor

Rubber is a natural product, but latex probe covers are not biodegradable, and the disposal of latex products can contribute to environmental pollution.

Considering all these factors, finding a good alternative to latex covers becomes crucial. Here, the CLEARPROBE™ transvaginal probe cover is considered the best one. It is made with non-latex EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) material and are Oxo Biodegradable. These covers are sterilised, facilitating a safe interface between patient and healthcare provider. The transvaginal probe covers act like the barrier, reducing cross-contamination between the patient's body and the probe.

The Benefits of Using EVA Probe Covers

1. They Do Not Cause Allergic Reactions

As mentioned earlier, latex causes allergies. Some patients feel uneasy with latex covers. EVA probe covers, on the other hand, are gentle and non-allergic to the skin and hence minimise trauma.

2. They Give Distortion Free Image

The EVA transvaginal probe covers are made with transparent, high-quality, flexible material. This allows ultrasound waves to pass through it easily during medical examinations. These probe covers do not distort the image quality and generate a clear picture of internal organs.

3. They Are Good For Patient's Skin

The EVA probe covers are thin, soft, and skin-friendly. They do not irritate, and their silky-smooth texture reduces discomfort during transvaginal sonography.

4. They Are EO-Sterilised

The EVA probe covers are sterilised with Ethylene Oxide before they are used. This sterilisation technique reduces the growth of microbes in the vagina or other reproductive organs.

As a healthcare practitioner, if you are looking for the best quality EVA sterilised probe covers, you can opt for CLEARPROBE™ transvaginal probe cover. They are safe for patients, reduce the chance of infection, and provide a clear image during scans. Want to know more about Hi Care Remedy's market-leading Ultrasound Probe Cover range?
