Ultrasound probe disinfection market is expected to grow in upcoming years due to factors such as rise in amount of ultrasound imaging procedures and diagnostics, increase in incidence of hospital acquired diseases and inappropriate reprocessing of ultrasound probes.

Ultrasound probe is a medical device which is used in imaging the internal organs of the body with the help of sound waves. Sound waved rebound from internal organs in form of echoes which are received by the probe and sent to the computer. The images which are formed by these echoes are known as sonogram. Ultrasound probes are available in different size and shape for use in the body organs. Ultrasound probes can be affected by bacterial contamination, as they are kept in open environment without protection. For disinfecting, soaking of probe in solutions can affect the health of the patients due to contamination of the solution by the probe while soaking. High level disinfection (HLD) is a latest method used for disinfecting the ultrasound probes. It is easy, affordable and quick method for disinfecting the ultrasound probe with safety of patient and hospital staff.
