Rolled Latex-Free Transducer Covers Approved

CIVCO Medical Instruments Receives FDA Approval

KALONA, IA- The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued 510(k) approval to CIVCO Medical Instruments for their rolled latex-free transducer cover, NeoFlex. Colored blue to differentiate them from latex covers, NeoFlex covers offer distortion-free scanning and will come in a variety of sizes to be used with most general purpose and endocavity transducers. NeoFlex covers combine the advantages of latex without the hazards of latex proteins. CIVCO designs and manufactures ultrasound needle guidance systems, transducer covers, and diagnostic accessory devices. For more information, contact CIVCO on the Internet at www.civcomedical.com.
