December 6, 2005-- With patient safety in mind, Sonotech has developed UltraBio Sterile, a unique sterile ultrasound scanning gel with FDA-allowed claims for in vivo biocompatibility and bioelimination. UltraBio Sterile replaces sterilized transcutaneous scanning gels that are not in vivo biocompatible or in vivo bioexcretable, but that are commonly used off label in surgical procedures, biopsies, and other sterile applications.

UltraBio Sterile is formulated specifically for invasive imaging procedures including intraoperative, ultrasound guided biopsy or aspiration and intracavity. Why is this important? Gel is introduced into the body during biopsy procedures or when applied directly to an organ during surgery; gel can also enter the body when a protective probe cover breaks or is cut during invasive imaging. UltraBio Sterile eliminates the risk of toxic reactions while ensuring regulatory compliance, therefore protecting patients and reducing facility liability.
