When it comes to handling transducers, damage can occur during the storing and transporting process. TEE probe protection is critical for patients' health and safety, and repairing and replacing ultrasound probes is a lengthy and costly expense for a facility, spending an average of $4,000.
The TDefender™ Disposable Distal Tip Protector is a single-use device that protects the distal tip of a TEE ultrasound probe from shock damage during transportation and storage.
TDefender is a part of the TPorter® products and accessories that allow healthcare personnel to move delicate TEE ultrasound probes throughout the facility and deliver them in a manner that creates a standardized operating procedure. Altogether, the TPorter products prevent damage and create a standardized workflow.
CS Medical has provided our hospital service with quality tools to efficiently and safely clean not only our TEE probes, but also ensure a clean environment through storage cabinets, transportation containers and HEPA air filtration. The standards and expectations for quality are being raised, and CS Medical is providing solutions to meet those standards.
