Ultrasonic probes, also known as
transducers, produce sound waves, which bounce back from the body tissues and
produce echoes. This technique helps in creating an image of various internal
body structures such as tendons, soft tissues, muscles, and internal organs,
which help doctors in diagnosis. Ultrasound probe covers are physical barriers
designed to prevent as well as reduce the risk of infections during ultrasound
procedures.
However, lack of awareness amongst
physicians and medical practitioners about the products are expected to
restrain ultrasonic probe covers market over the forecast period. For instance,
in November 2018, the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine stated that
education on the proper use of transducer cleaning agents and procedures is
needed to avoid cross infections.

Medical Ultrasonic Probe Covers
Market – Dynamics
Although ultrasound procedures
are used for clinical and diagnostic applications, it has increased risk of
infections caused by Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, herpes simplex
virus, and hepatitis A virus among others. Hence, rising incidence of cross
infections due to ultrasound procedures is expected to boost growth of the
medical ultrasonic probe covers market over the forecast period. According to
the 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 cross
infections. A study conducted in 2017 by the NHS Health Scotland showed that
patients opting for transvaginal scan had 41% higher probability of getting
positive bacterial cultures and are 26% more likely to be prescribed
antibiotics within 30 days of ultrasound. Similarly, for patients undergoing transrectal
ultrasounds, the probability of getting positive cultures increased up to 75%.

Market- Regional Insights
North America accounted for the
largest market share in 2018 in terms of revenue, owing to launches and
approvals of new ultrasonic probe covers market in the region. For instance, in
November 2018, CIVCO Medical Solutions presented its upgraded version of
ultrasound probe cover, Envision, at the Radiological Society of North America
(RSNA) annual meeting held in Chicago (U.S).
Moreover, increasing incidences
of hospital acquired infection in the region is also expected to propel the
market growth. According to the data published in the American Journal of
Infection Control in 2018, around 5% to 47% cases of high level disinfection or
sterilization in invasive procedures was reported, which may increase risk of
hospital acquired infections such as hepatitis B, human papilloma virus, and
other bacterial infections.

To overcome this situation, the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Institute of
Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) have provided ultrasound specific guidelines,
which state that probe covers should be used to reduce the risk of infection.

Market – Competitive Landscape
Major manufacturers in the
medical ultrasonic probe covers market include CIVCO, Cardinal Health, Parker
Laboratories, Karex, PDC Healthcare, Medline, Advance Medical designs,
Sheathing Technologies, Protek Medical Products, Ecolab, and others.
Moreover, many key manufacturers
are focusing on launching various upgraded probe covers to enhance their market
share/presence. For instance, in November 2017, CIVCO Medical Solutions
launched the probe cover, PEELSafe, in which an adhesive is used to eliminate the
need of gel inside the probe cover. The ultrasound image is free from
distortions throughout the procedure, as the adhesive makes the repositioning
of the cover easier in order to ensure proper contact between the probe and the
cover.
