Frequently Asked Questions
Is SONO Ultrasound Gel bacteriostatic?
Yes. SONO Clear Ultrasound Scanning Gel contains a bacteriostatic agent that inhibits bacterial growth within the gel itself. This is a critical safety feature for multi-patient clinical environments where the same bottle is used throughout the day.
Is the gel hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive patients?
Yes. The formula is free from parabens, latex, fragrance, and common sensitizers. It is safe for use with patients who have sensitive skin or known gel allergies. Always confirm with the patient before application if allergies are a concern.
What is the viscosity — will it run off the probe during exams?
SONO gel has a medium-high viscosity appropriate for most transabdominal, OB/GYN, vascular, and MSK applications. It stays in place on the probe during exams without excessive running or dripping.
Is it compatible with endocavity probes?
SONO Clear Gel is formulated for external (surface) transducer applications. For endocavity (transvaginal, transrectal) procedures, a sterile single-use gel is required per clinical guidelines. See our Sterile Ultrasound Gel Singles for intracavity applications.
How many bottles does a typical clinic use per month?
A single-room OB/GYN practice performing 10–15 exams per day typically uses 2–4 bottles per month. A multi-room imaging center or high-volume ER department may use 12–24 bottles per month. The 48-bottle bulk case offers the best per-bottle price for high-volume facilities.
Is SONO gel compatible with Revital-Ox HLD reprocessing?
Yes. The water-soluble formula is fully removed during the pre-cleaning step before HLD. SONO gel does not interfere with or inactivate Revital-Ox RESERT disinfectant when proper pre-cleaning is performed per STERIS IFU.
Can I use this gel with portable / POCUS ultrasound systems?
Yes. The 8oz bottle size is ideal for portable and point-of-care systems. The gel is compatible with all major handheld and portable ultrasound platforms including Butterfly iQ, Lumify, SonoSite, and Clarius systems.
