Accessories worth planning

  • Probe holders and cable hooks to prevent drops — the most common cause of probe damage.
  • A trolley for laptop systems.
  • A UPS so a power dip does not reboot the system mid-scan.
  • A medical thermal printer or a network link to your records.
  • A gel warmer for patient comfort.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use any gel with an ultrasound probe?
Use gel made for medical ultrasound. Some lotions and oils can damage the probe lens and do not couple sound well.
Do endocavity scans need a probe cover?
Yes — a probe cover is used, and the probe is still high-level disinfected between patients.
What is the most common cause of probe damage?
Drops and cable crushing. Probe holders and cable management are cheap insurance.
