Applying the Ultrasound Gel
Palpate the patient’s symphysis pubis (pubic bone) and apply the Gel immediately superior
to the patient’s symphysis pubis, as shown in images below. Or apply the Gel around the
dome of the Scanhead. Smooth the gel out and remove any air bubbles, which may block
ultrasound transmission.
Using Ultrasound Gel Pad:
Sometimes it may be convenient to use ultrasound transmission Gel pad. The Gel pad is an
easy-to-use coupling medium.
To apply the ultrasound Gel Pad, peel back the foil lid of the individual gel pad package,
exposing the gel pad.
Measuring Bladder Volume
Palpate the patient’s symphysis pubis and place the Scanhead midline on the patient’s
abdomen, approximately 4 cm (1.5 inches) superior to the symphysis pubis, as shown in
images below.
