Sterile topical coupling gel is a medium applied to the skin to facilitate the transmission of ultrasonic waves between a transducer and the patient. This gel ensures clear imaging during ultrasound procedures that require a sterile environment while allowing the probe to glide smoothly across the skin surface.
These products are supplied as non-sticky, drip-resistant fluids that have undergone thermal sterilization to ensure they are free from radiation degradation products. Once applied to the skin, these single-use gels must be discarded and cannot be reused for subsequent examinations.
