Description
The Aspen Protek Telescopically-Folded Probe Covers fold telescopically, so gel placement stays accurate and mess-free during sterile exams. Seven configurations reach lengths of 36 in, 48 in, and 96 in, and six of them add a 3D end for seamless scanning. Two kits include a cover with arrow, sterile gel, bands, and tapes, and every configuration in this style is sterile.
- Telescopic Fold – The fold places gel accurately and keeps application mess-free.
- Lengths to 96 in – Four 96 in sizes cover extended probe and equipment runs.
- 3D End on Six Sizes – Most configurations add a 3D end that supports seamless scanning.
- Arrow Kit Options – Two kits include a cover with arrow, sterile gel, 2 bands, and 2 tapes.
- Tapered 96 in Sizes – Two clear sizes taper along their 96 in length toward the probe end.
Telescopically-Folded Covers for Ultrasound Probes and Equipment
Telescopically-folded covers are a general purpose format in the Protek line, built around a fold that controls how the cover opens over the probe. That control keeps gel where it belongs, placed accurately instead of squeezed out during application. The seven sterile configurations lean long, with 36 in and 48 in sizes for standard work and four 96 in sizes for extended setups. Two of the 96 in sizes taper from a wider opening to a narrower end, and two kits swap the standard contents for a cover with arrow plus bands and tapes. Every configuration is sterile and single-use, and the covers protect the equipment while they minimize cross-contamination and post-procedure clean-up.

Why Ultrasound Teams Choose Aspen Protek Telescopically-Folded Probe Covers
Gel that ends up everywhere except the scan site costs time twice, once in the exam and once in the clean-up. The telescopic fold answers by opening the cover in a controlled way that keeps gel placement accurate. Teams running long probes or extended setups also get real reach here, with four of the seven sizes at 96 in.
- Accurate Gel Placement – The fold puts gel at the scan site instead of along the cover, so image setup is faster.
- Less Mess to Clean – Controlled application and a covered probe mean reduced post-procedure clean-up.
- Reach for Extended Setups – Four 96 in configurations cover long runs that standard lengths cannot.
- Arrow Kits on the Shelf – Two kits add a cover with arrow plus tapes, a combination no other Protek style offers.
Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cover with arrow kit?
Two configurations kit a cover with arrow together with sterile gel, 2 bands, and 2 tapes. The other five configurations kit the cover with sterile gel and 2 bands.
Are these covers sterile?
Yes, every configuration in this style is sterile. Each cover is single-use and is discarded after the exam.
Which sizes have a 3D end?
Six of the seven sizes include a 3D end, in both soft and clear finishes. The 3D end supports seamless scanning on those covers.
Can the covers be reused?
No, the covers are made for single use only. Start each exam with a fresh sterile kit.
