As NHS trusts place increasing emphasis on infection prevention and clinical hygiene, the risks associated with using non-sterile ultrasound gel—particularly in transrectal and transperineal prostate biopsy procedures—have come under scrutiny. Non-sterile gel, especially when applied near or within mucosal surfaces such as the rectum, poses a clear risk of introducing harmful pathogens, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Burkholderia cepacia, which have been linked to hospital outbreaks and post-procedural infections. These risks are amplified during prostate biopsies, where maintaining a sterile field is critical to avoiding complications such as sepsis and prostatitis.
Aqua Medical's 40ml sterile ultrasound gel syringes provide a single-use, CE-marked solution that directly addresses these infection control concerns. Designed for clean, accurate application, they eliminate the potential for cross-contamination associated with multi-use bottles or refillable gel containers. Easy to store, quick to deploy, and mess-free in clinical use, they are rapidly becoming the gold standard across NHS urology departments.
Exclusively available through Aqua Medical, this product supports best practice in infection prevention while improving clinical workflow and patient safety. Ideal for LATP and TRUS biopsy procedures, sterile ultrasound gel syringes ensure compliance with NHS IPC protocols and reflect your organisation’s commitment to safe, high-quality care.
