Frequently Asked Questions
What are the primary uses of Konix Ultrasound Gel?
Konix Ultrasound Gel is designed for various diagnostic and therapeutic applications, including ultrasound and Doppler examinations. Its high viscosity ensures optimal transmission of ultrasound waves by eliminating air between the probe and the skin, resulting in clearer imaging.
Is Konix Ultrasound Gel safe for sensitive skin?
Yes, Konix Ultrasound Gel is hypoallergenic, non-irritating, and free from formaldehyde and salt, making it suitable for patients with sensitive skin. It is also water-soluble and non-staining, ensuring easy cleanup after procedures.
How should Konix Ultrasound Gel be stored and handled to maintain its quality?
To maintain the quality of Konix Ultrasound Gel:
- Store the gel in a dry area away from potential sources of contamination.
- Ensure the bottle is sealed appropriately when not in use.
- Avoid refilling the bottle; instead, replace it when empty.
- If using a multi-use gel bottle, ensure the tip does not contact the patient, transducer, or any ancillary equipment.
Can Konix Ultrasound Gel be used for invasive procedures?
For invasive procedures or those involving non-intact skin, it is recommended to use sterile, single-use ultrasound gel to minimize the risk of infection. While Konix Ultrasound Gel is suitable for general diagnostic applications, ensure that the appropriate type of gel is used based on the procedure's requirements.
Is it safe to warm Konix Ultrasound Gel before use?
Warming ultrasound gel can enhance patient comfort; however, it should be done cautiously:
- Use dry heat warmers instead of warm water.
- Keep gel bottles upright in warmers and avoid inverting them.
- Regularly clean warmers according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Do not store gel bottles upside down in warmers, as this can lead to contamination.
