MedicalUltrasonic Probe Covers Market, By Material Type (Latex Probe Covers and LatexFree Probe Covers), By Sterility (Sterile and Non-sterile), By Application(Vascular, Abdominal, Cardiac, Ophthalmology, Transvaginal & Transrectal,and Others), By End User (Hospitals, Clinics, and Others), and By Region (NorthAmerica, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa) - Size,Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2019 - 2027
Ultrasonic probes, also known astransducers, produce sound waves, which bounce back from the body tissues andproduce echoes. This technique helps in creating an image of various internalbody structures such as tendons, soft tissues, muscles, and internal organs,which help doctors in diagnosis. Ultrasound probe covers are physical barriersdesigned to prevent as well as reduce the risk of infections during ultrasoundprocedures.
However, lack of awareness amongstphysicians and medical practitioners about the products are expected torestrain ultrasonic probe covers market over the forecast period. For instance,in November 2018, the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine stated thateducation on the proper use of transducer cleaning agents and procedures isneeded to avoid cross infections.

Medical Ultrasonic Probe CoversMarket – Dynamics
Although ultrasound proceduresare used for clinical and diagnostic applications, it has increased risk ofinfections caused by Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, herpes simplexvirus, and hepatitis A virus among others. Hence, rising incidence of crossinfections due to ultrasound procedures is expected to boost growth of themedical ultrasonic probe covers market over the forecast period. According tothe data published in the American Journal of Infection Control in 2018,ultrasound procedures such as transvaginal, transrectal, intracavity,tranesophageal, and post-operative wounds carry significant risk of crossinfections. A study conducted in 2017 by the NHS Health Scotland showed thatpatients opting for transvaginal scan had 41% higher probability of gettingpositive bacterial cultures and are 26% more likely to be prescribedantibiotics within 30 days of ultrasound. Similarly, for patients undergoing transrectalultrasounds, the probability of getting positive cultures increased up to 75%.
Medical Ultrasonic Probe CoversMarket- Regional Insights
North America accounted for thelargest market share in 2018 in terms of revenue, owing to launches andapprovals of new ultrasonic probe covers market in the region. For instance, inNovember 2018, CIVCO Medical Solutions presented its upgraded version ofultrasound probe cover, Envision, at the Radiological Society of North America(RSNA) annual meeting held in Chicago (U.S).
Moreover, increasing incidencesof hospital acquired infection in the region is also expected to propel themarket growth. According to the data published in the American Journal ofInfection Control in 2018, around 5% to 47% cases of high level disinfection orsterilization in invasive procedures was reported, which may increase risk ofhospital acquired infections such as hepatitis B, human papilloma virus, andother bacterial infections.

To overcome this situation, theCenters for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Institute ofUltrasound in Medicine (AIUM) have provided ultrasound specific guidelines,which state that probe covers should be used to reduce the risk of infection.
Medical Ultrasonic Probe CoversMarket – Competitive Landscape
Major manufacturers in themedical ultrasonic probe covers market include CIVCO, Cardinal Health, ParkerLaboratories, Karex, PDC Healthcare, Medline, Advance Medical designs,Sheathing Technologies, Protek Medical Products, Ecolab, and others.
Moreover, many key manufacturersare focusing on launching various upgraded probe covers to enhance their marketshare/presence. For instance, in November 2017, CIVCO Medical Solutionslaunched the probe cover, PEELSafe, in which an adhesive is used to eliminate theneed of gel inside the probe cover. The ultrasound image is free fromdistortions throughout the procedure, as the adhesive makes the repositioningof the cover easier in order to ensure proper contact between the probe and thecover.
