Disinfecting Wipes

Alcohol and chlorine-based germicides may damage the flexible ultrasound transducer surface; the use of approved alcohol-free and bleach-free products are required for disinfection between patients 

The Sani-Cloth® AF-3 (Grey-Top) disposable wipe for the surface cleaning of the Ultrasound transducer has been a reliable product and is readily available through medical products suppliers as well as Amazon.

Sono Disinfecting Wipes are another option that was developed exclusively for the ultrasound industry and is easily available on Amazon Link

Probe Covers

For transperineal ultrasound you need an FDA approved US probe cover. We recommend a seamless viral barrier probe cover from Sheathing Technologies because of its superior performance and low failure rate over similar products.

I have worked with Breana Fata, (no disclosures) she is familiar with what Physical Therapists are looking for that is different than sonographers or physicians and will send free product samples to help you find the correct cover for your needs. Most importantly for PTs, the non-sterile probe covers is fully acceptable, and much less expensive than the sterile procedure probe cover used in most hospital ultrasound applications.

Sheathing Technologies probe covers vary depending on the shape and size of the ultrasound probe. The best purchase option is a bulk box of 50 and cost between $1.05-$1.50 each, and are more expensive in smaller quantities.
