  • Therapeutic Ultrasound:

    Ultrasound gel is also used in therapeutic ultrasound treatments, where it helps to transmit the sound waves to the tissues for pain management and other therapeutic effects. 

  • Sterile vs. Non-Sterile:

    Sterile ultrasound gel is used for invasive procedures or when there is contact with mucous membranes or non-intact skin, while non-sterile gel is used for low-risk, external examinations on intact skin. 

  • Alternatives:
    In some cases, alternatives like vegetable oil, aloe vera, vaginal lubricant, and shampoo have been used as ultrasound mediums.

Here’s a more detailed explanation of its uses:
  • Coupling Medium:

    Ultrasound waves have difficulty traveling through air, so ultrasound gel is used to eliminate air between the transducer and the patient’s skin, allowing sound waves to travel directly to the tissues beneath. 

  • Improved Image Quality:

    By ensuring good contact between the transducer and the skin, ultrasound gel helps to produce clearer and more accurate images. 

  • Reduced Artifacts:

    The gel minimizes air reflections that can create artifacts or shadows in the ultrasound image. 

  • Enhanced Comfort:

    The gel can also help reduce friction and improve patient comfort during the ultrasound procedure. 

  • Various Applications:
    Ultrasound gel is used in a wide range of medical imaging procedures, including obstetrics, cardiology, urology, and vascular assessments.
