Cervical Cancer Month : Probe disinfection can help prevent cancer

Preventing the No. 1 Cause of Cervical Cancer 


Research has found high-risk Human Papillomavirus (HPV) strains 16 and 18 cause 90% of cervical cancer, the seventh most common cancer in the world and the fourth most common cancer among women in 2020. This is why Germitec’s Chronos™ has been rigorously tested to kill these HPV strains to prevent cross-contamination risk in ultrasound.


Watch this webinar to find out how to effectively reduce human papillomavirus (HPV) cross-contamination risk in ultrasound
