H2O-005 - Civco - Envision™ Ultrasound Probe Cover

Sterile 14 x 147cm (5.5" x 58") telescopically folded CIV-Flex cover with Envision (U.S. only) Box of 24

100% gel-free ultrasound procedures

Envision ultrasound probe covers and scanning pads are activated with a sterile liquid and require no gel. Envision ultrasound viral barriers benefit clinicians and patients during interventions and procedures utilizing ultrasound, such as:

Ultrasound Guided Peripheral IVs (UGPIVs) | PICC Lines | Central Venous Catheters (CVC) | Nerve Blocks |Thyroid Fine Needle Aspirations (FNA)

Reduce the Risk of Contamination

• Based on multiple clinical studies, ultrasound gel has been shown to harbor and spread infection. Gel can:

  • contribute to increasing nosocomial infection, the spread of hospital-acquired infections^1,2,3,4

  • cause bacteria to be introduced into the blood stream^3,6

  • make the disinfection or sterilization process of devices, including ultrasound probes, less effective⁵

Improve Quality of FNA Specimens

• Several studies show the adverse effects gel can have on fine needle aspirations:

  • Impairs the visibility of cells and interferes with staining of cells⁷

  • Causes a significant increase in the number of slides with artefacts⁷

  • Causes widespread cell lysis, increasing the risk of misinterpretation and a false positive diagnosis⁸

  • Mimics colloid, creating difficulty in differentiation between artefact and colloid^7,9

Simplify Workflow

• Envision probe covers and scanning pads are easy to set up, with a quick-peel liner that safely adheres to the probe face.

• Clean-up is simple, with no gel to wipe off the probe or patient.

• Pre-cleaning of the probe is greatly simplified with the use of Envision.

*Covers, pads, and bands are not made with natural rubber latex.
