Ultrasound Probe Covers & Sheathes

Protecting the transducer and maintaining a clean barrier between probe and patient is non-negotiable in any ultrasound workflow. This Sheathes collection brings together probe covers and securing accessories that keep imaging equipment protected during both external and endocavity scans, helping departments control cross-contamination and extend the working life of expensive transducers.

Sizing is the first thing most buyers check, because a cover that doesn't match the probe head compromises the acoustic window and image quality. The Sheathes Ultrasound Probe Cover, 3 x 12 inch (26801) suits standard external and larger surface transducers, while the Sheathes Ultrasound Probe Covers, 1 x 9 inch (20080) are rolled for quick application on endocavity probes used in transvaginal and transrectal exams. Both are plastic and non-sterile, which makes them appropriate for routine procedures where a clean rather than sterile field is called for—a common point of confusion, so confirm your protocol requires sterile covers before ordering.

Holding a cover securely in place matters just as much as the cover itself. The Sheathing Rubber Band, black, 3/8 inch (10060) is a non-sterile rubber band sized to anchor covers snugly over the probe and cable junction, preventing slippage and fluid ingress mid-scan. Stocking bands alongside covers keeps the workflow uninterrupted between patients.

Because these are non-sterile items intended for high-turnover use, most facilities buy them in volume to keep exam rooms and mobile carts consistently supplied. Match the cover length to your probe type, keep securing bands on hand, and reserve sterile options for procedures that demand them.
