B. Braun Introduces EZCOVER® Probe Cover Set for Safer Ultrasound-Guided Procedures

B. Braun Medical Inc., a recognized leader in infusion therapy and pain management solutions, has introduced its latest innovation to the U.S. healthcare market: the EZCOVER® Probe Cover Set, specifically developed to enhance infection control and procedural safety during ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve block (PNB) procedures.

Ultrasound imaging, while widely regarded as a safe and non-invasive diagnostic tool, still carries a potential risk of infection transmission during interventional procedures. The EZCOVER® set addresses this critical need by offering a sterile barrier that helps prevent cross-contamination and reduce healthcare-associated infections (HAIs)—a growing concern in hospital environments.

One standout feature is the integrated “STOP” sticker, a simple yet powerful addition that encourages clinicians to pause and confirm the correct surgical site and procedure side before initiating the block. This step significantly lowers the risk of performing a nerve block on the wrong side, promoting a culture of safety and accountability in line with best practices and recent ASRA (American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine) infection prevention guidelines.

Peter McGregor, Director of Marketing for Pain Control at B. Braun, commented:

“The EZCOVER Probe Cover Set reflects our ongoing dedication to patient and provider safety. It aligns with the latest infection prevention protocols and supports clinical teams in delivering high-quality care with greater confidence.”

The EZCOVER® is offered in two variations—gel and non-gel (adhesive)—to accommodate different procedural preferences and settings. Both versions feature telescopic folding for sterile application, clear labeling for easy use, and are made of high-quality elastic materials that allow a snug, wrinkle-free fit. This ensures distortion-free imaging while maintaining optimal ultrasound clarity, which is essential for accuracy in nerve block placement.

The launch reaffirms B. Braun’s commitment to innovation in procedural safety, workflow efficiency, and infection prevention across its extensive portfolio of ultrasound and pain management products.
