Preparing for Surgery/Intra-operative Procedures (continued)
To ensure a sterile environment during the procedure, it is
recommended that this be a two-person job.
1. Perform a high level disinfection of the probe.
2. The scanner (surgeon, sonographer, etc.) should be sterile
and gloved.
3. Place an adequate amount of sterile coupling gel on the
face of the probe.
4. Place the proper sterile sheath over the probe and cord.
Figure 17-28. Applying Sterile Sheath
5. Depending on the type of procedure, use either sterile water
or gel on the sheath cover.
NOTE: Follow your institutions guidelines on post surgery/intra-
operative procedures for probe cleaning and disinfection.
