Endocavitary probes and other medical devices

Endocavitary probes and medical devices: ensuring disinfection between each patient

Endocavitary probes and certain medical devices used in contact with mucous membranes carry a high risk of transmitting infectious agents. Between two examinations, thorough cleaning and disinfection are essential to guarantee patient safety and prevent cross-infections.

These devices, sometimes thermolabile or made of delicate materials, require adapted protocols, combining microbiological efficacy, compatibility with equipment, and ease of use for healthcare teams. Particular attention must be paid to contact areas, hard-to-reach surfaces, and sensitive components.

For endocavitary probes without an operating channel and medical devices requiring high-level disinfection, THX Medical recommends ULTRASOL OXY. Its active oxygen-based formula meets the requirements for high-level disinfection, with efficacy in accordance with standard EN 17846 achieved in 5 minutes under dirty conditions.

In addition, ULTRASOL OXY WIPES offers a ready-to-use solution, specifically designed for the disinfection of endocavitary probes without an operating channel, to simplify protocols between two patients.

THX Medical supports healthcare institutions, gynecology practices, imaging departments, operating theaters, and endoscopy units with solutions adapted to the disinfection requirements of sensitive medical devices.
