Description
SURGI™ Intraoperative Covers are meticulously designed to meet the demanding needs of sterile environments during ultrasound procedures in operating rooms and surgical suites. These covers serve as an essential sterile barrier for ultrasound transducers and cords, ensuring the integrity of the sterile field throughout intraoperative procedures.
Key Features
-
Material and Design: Crafted from polyethylene, these covers are both sterile and single-use, providing reliable protection without the use of natural rubber latex. Their design includes options for accordion-folding and flat-folding, facilitating easy application and handling.
-
Size and Coverage: Available in widths of 3.0 inches (7.6 cm), 6.0 inches (15.2 cm), and 8.0 inches (20.3 cm), each cover extends up to 96 inches (244 cm) in length. This extensive coverage ensures comprehensive protection along the transducer cord, maintaining sterility over a significant area.
-
Performance: The covers are engineered to provide distortion-free scanning, a critical feature for accurate ultrasound imaging. Select models include additional components such as a CIV-Flex™ cover, sterile gel packets, and bands, enhancing their versatility and functionality.
Barrier Properties
SURGI™ Intraoperative Covers are rigorously tested for their barrier properties, effectively preventing microbial migration, including viruses, bacteria, and bloodborne pathogens for particles 27 nm and larger. This makes them a robust choice for maintaining a sterile environment, although they are not FDA-cleared or approved as devices to prevent healthcare worker infections.
Additional Components
Some covers are packaged with a CIV-Flex™ cover, known for its soft, acoustically transparent properties, and may include sterile gel packets and bands, further supporting their application in surgical settings.
These covers are an indispensable tool for healthcare professionals, ensuring that the focus remains on patient care and procedural accuracy without compromising on sterility.
