Sterile ultrasound coupling gel

Ultrasound coupling gels provide a coupling between an ultrasound transducer and the patient to facilitate the passage of ultrasonic waves through the skin, allowing ultrasound to penetrate into anatomical areas being examined , with the gel also assisting the operator's ability to move the ultrasound probe smoothly in the areas being examined . These gels are used during ultrasound examinations, surgical procedures, and biopsies, with sterile formulations being suitable for applications where the risk of infection is high or where sterility is required, including examinations of paediatric patients .
