AQUASONIC CLEAR^® ULTRASOUND GEL

Our exclusive dual-viscosity formula allows SCAN to be applied as a gel and scan as a fluid. For medical ultrasound procedures when a less viscous gel is desired.

Aquasonic 100 Ultrasound Transmission Gel, Aquasonic Clear Ultrasound Gel and SCAN Ultrasound Gel (Parker Laboratories Ultrasound Gel) are non-sterile, water-soluble and non-staining gels intended for external use only and are used with all commercially available ultrasound devices.
