Strap
The strap (Figure 4) is used to position
the transducer over your treatment site.
The strap has a port in it to hold the
transducer in place. The cap holds the
transducer down on the treatment site.
The strap is adjustable to t most fracture
locations. If your strap does not t the
location of your fracture, please contact
Customer Service at 1-855-771-0606
to nd out if there is another strap which
may t better.
Ultrasound Gel
Ultrasound gel (Figure 5) is provided for
use with EXOGEN. The gel is to be placed
on the transducer every time you use
EXOGEN. The gel lets the ultrasound
signal reach your fracture through your
skin. EXOGEN will not work properly if
gel is not covering the transducer and
you will receive an alert from EXOGEN.
Only use the gel supplied. Do not use other
gels as they may damage the transducer
surface or block the signal. If you need
more gel, please call Customer Service
at 1-855-771-0606.
Note: Some patients have experienced
mild skin irritation caused by skin sensitivity
to the gel. If you feel your skin is sensitive
to the gel, you may change the gel to
mineral oil or glycerin.
