Ultrasound Forum: Lotion instead of ultrasoun ... Lotion instead of ultrasound gel CAN I USE A LOTION INSTEAD OF GEL. IF NOT CAN I SPECIALLY FORMULATE A LOTION LIKE WITH SOME NATURAL PRODUCTS THAT WOULD A. NOT HARM THE TRANSDUCER AND B. HAVE GREAT IMAGE QUALITY. No Gel is called coupling gel. It is made to match the speed of sound from the transducer to the body. I know of no lotions that have been tested. Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too? - Douglas Adams |
