Civco Medical Instruments

Civco specializes in the infection prevention and probe protection products that ultrasound departments depend on every day. If you run an imaging suite or a reprocessing area, the questions are practical: how do you keep an endocavity transducer sterile between patients, and how do you neutralize the high-level disinfectants those probes soak in? This collection is built around exactly those workflows.

For probe protection, the CIV-Flex Ultrasound Transducer Covers (610-1302) are sterile, folded 5-1/2 x 12 inch sheaths that maintain a clean barrier during scanning — the kind of single-use cover that fits standard transducers without fuss. When it's time to disinfect, the Endocavity Soaking Cups (610-584) and the matching Replacement Kits for endocavity transducers (610-585) give you a contained, repeatable soak setup rather than an improvised tray.

Where Civco is genuinely useful is on the disinfectant side. OPA and glutaraldehyde high-level disinfectants are effective but must be neutralized before disposal to protect staff and drains. The Glute-Out Neutralizer is a ready-to-use powder that renders spent OPA or glutaraldehyde inert; it's unscented, single-use, and stocked in both 0.5 oz (610-1099) and 2 oz (610-1045) sizes so you can match the pour to your basin volume. For automated reprocessing, the Soaking Station Filters (610-1207) keep GUS G10 stations running clean.

Buying by brand helps when compatibility matters — accessories designed for the same system reduce guesswork on fit and disinfectant chemistry. You can compare offerings from other manufacturers such as United Medical Instruments or 2G Medical if you're sourcing across multiple lines.
