Plastic wrap for ultrasound transducers. Herpes simplex virus transmission

Department of Pathology, Women's Hospital, Carlton, Victoria, Australia.

Plastic wrap was investigated as an alternative cover for ultrasound transducers to ensure their sanitization or sterility. The wrap was found to have no gross defects, did not allow the passage of herpes simplex virus across it in vitro and made no difference to the quality of the ultrasound images. It is a simple, cheap, and safe alternative for use as a transducer cover and can be gas sterilized for sterile procedures.
