100% gel-free ultrasound procedures

Envision ultrasound probe covers and scanning pads are activated with a sterile liquid and require no gel. Envision ultrasound viral barriers benefit clinicians and patients during interventions and procedures utilizing ultrasound, such as:

• Peripheral IVs
• PICC lines
• CVCs
• Nerve blocks
• Thyroid FNAs

Reduce the Risk of Contamination

• Based on multiple clinical studies, ultrasound gel has been shown to harbor and spread infection. Gel can:
  • contribute to increasing nosocomial infection, the spread of hospital-acquired infections^1,2,3,4
  • cause bacteria to be introduced into the blood stream^3,6
  • make the disinfection or sterilization process of devices, including ultrasound probes, less effective⁵

Improve Quality of FNA Specimens

• Several studies show the adverse effects gel can have on fine needle aspirations:
  • Impairs the visibility of cells and interferes with staining of cells⁷
  • Causes a significant increase in the number of slides with artefacts⁷
  • Causes widespread cell lysis, increasing the risk of misinterpretation and a false positive diagnosis⁸
  • Mimics colloid, creating difficulty in differentiation between artefact and colloid^7,9

Simplify Workflow

• The Envision probe cover and scanning pad are easy to set up with the quick-peel liner that safely adheres to the probe face, and clean-up is simple with no gel to wipe off the probe or patient.
• Pre-cleaning of the probe is greatly simplified with the use of Envision.

Covers, pads and bands are not made with natural rubber latex.
