How Technological Changes Have Helped Improve the Design of Endocavity Probe Covers?
Endocavity probe covers play a crucial role in preventing contamination of body fluids during transvaginal scans (TVS) and ultrasound examinations. Thus, these covers are important during gynaecological, urological, and transrectal procedures. However, keeping the safety needs of the patients in mind, over time, there have been significant improvements in the design, materials, and functionality of these probe covers. Thanks to technology, the material composition, protective covering, and fit methods of the Endocavity probe covers have greatly changed. How have technological advancements impacted the design of Endocavity probe covers? Changes in material composition Previously, the Endocavity probe covers were made of latex. However, latex allergies pose a risk for many patients. With advancements, manufacturers are now opting for latex-free alternatives. For probe covers, medical-grade, non-toxic, and non-allergic EVA film is used for utmost patient safety and protection. More...
