To ensure the sterility of the probe and cable, PAJUNK^® offers an ultrasound probe cover with integrated stripe, which is characterized by a very good permeability of the ultrasound waves. It can be attached to the ultrasound probe without using an additional contact medium within the probe cover. Additionally, the integrated adhesive stripe enables an application of the ultrasound probe cover without air bubbles or wrinkles. This also positively affects the quality of the ultrasound image.

While performing ultrasound guided puncture it may be necessary to pass the cannula through the ultrasound gel. This procedure may result in a subcutaneous introduction of the ultrasound gel even up to direct nerve contact. Many ultrasound gels that are available on the market contain alcohols like glycerol or prophylene glycerol as binding agent or preservative. The neurolytic properties of these substances have been demonstrated.

Safergel is free of any preservatives, parabens and alcohols and thus offers an excellent patient safety! Safergel also complies with the requirements for approval as a surgical invasive product (MPG class IIa according to 93/42 / EEC Section III Rule 6) and thus contributes significantly to the improvement of patient safety.
