McKesson Film and Paper Tympanic Thermometer Probe Covers - Box of 96 Disposable Sheaths

Essential Infection Control for Infrared Tympanic Thermometry

These Film and Paper Tympanic Thermometer Probe Covers provide critical single-use protection for infrared tympanic electronic thermometers across healthcare, clinical, and institutional settings. Engineered specifically for compatibility with infrared tympanic thermometry devices, these disposable sheaths deliver reliable barrier protection that prevents cross-contamination between patients while maintaining accurate temperature measurement performance.

Infection Prevention & Patient Safety

Each disposable probe cover serves as an essential barrier between the thermometer probe and the patient's ear canal, preventing the transmission of pathogens and bodily fluids between successive temperature assessments. This single-use design eliminates the risk of cross-contamination that could occur with reusable components, supporting rigorous infection control protocols required in hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, and medical offices. By ensuring a fresh, sterile barrier for every patient encounter, these probe covers help healthcare facilities maintain compliance with CDC guidelines and institutional infection prevention standards.

Product Features & Construction

• Film and Paper Composite Material: Dual-layer construction combines the protective barrier properties of medical-grade film with the structural support of paper, creating a probe cover that maintains integrity during insertion while allowing accurate infrared temperature transmission
• Latex-Free Formulation: Manufactured without natural rubber latex to eliminate allergic reaction risk for both patients and healthcare providers, supporting safe use across all patient populations including those with known latex sensitivities
• Infrared Tympanic Thermometer Compatibility: Precision-engineered dimensions ensure proper fit with standard infrared tympanic electronic thermometers, maintaining optimal probe-to-tympanic membrane positioning for accurate core body temperature measurement
• Single-Use Disposable Design: Each sheath is intended for one-time use only, eliminating cleaning and sterilization requirements while ensuring maximum hygiene and infection control between patient assessments
• Convenient Box Packaging: 96 individually accessible probe covers per box provide ample supply for high-volume clinical environments while maintaining product cleanliness and ease of dispensing

Clinical Performance Benefits

• Accurate Temperature Transmission: The film and paper construction allows infrared energy to pass through the barrier without significant interference, ensuring temperature readings remain clinically accurate and reliable for diagnostic decision-making
• Streamlined Workflow Efficiency: Quick-application design enables rapid probe cover placement and removal, minimizing procedure time and supporting efficient patient throughput in busy clinical settings
• Universal Patient Application: Suitable for temperature assessment across all age groups from neonates to geriatric patients, supporting diverse clinical populations in emergency departments, pediatric clinics, surgical centers, and primary care offices
• Cost-Effective Infection Control: Disposable design eliminates labor and supply costs associated with probe cleaning and disinfection, while reducing the risk of healthcare-associated infections that could result from inadequate reprocessing
