-
Oakworks EA General 3-Section Ultrasound Table — A versatile choice for multi-service departments switching between MSK, OB/GYN, and general abdominal studies.
-
Side Rails for Select Oakworks Imaging Tables — Add securement points for support legs, lines, and accessories.
Infection prevention you can standardize
-
SONO Ultrasound Wipes (Canister 7"x8") & SONO Ultrasound Wipes (Flat Pack 7"x10") — EPA-registered, fast-acting ultrasound disinfectant wipes for transducers, cords, and carts. Queries like ultrasound wipes, ultrasound probe wipes, ultrasound cleaning wipes, wipes for ultrasound probes, and canister / flat pack map here.
-
ClearWave™ Quik-Pull™ Sterile Probe Covers — Sterile barrier protection that goes on quickly without compromising image quality—ideal for interventional and endocavitary work.
-
ClearWave Ultrasound Gel Bottles — Consistent viscosity, residue-free coupling; if you searched clearwave ultrasound gel bottles, this is it.
-
Thermasonic® Gel Warmer (3-Bottle, LCD) — Keep gel at patient-friendly temperatures; common searches include gel warmer and thermasonic gel warmer.
Secure, dry storage that satisfies policy
-
Mount-Over Ultrasound Transducer Storage Cabinet — A compact ultrasound transducer storage cabinetthat installs above your workspace to keep probes organized and protected.
-
GUS Ultrasound Probe Cabinet — Ventilated, chemical-compatible enclosure used widely to support post-high-level-disinfection drying and storage.
-
Looking for TEE? Many teams search TEE probe storage cabinet / TEE probe cabinet—ask us about models sized for long, delicate probes.
Table & patient comfort layers
-
Patient Transfer Table Pad and Comfort Foam Table Pad — Improve surface pressure distribution and cleanup time on any medical imaging table. These are frequently paired with patient transfer aids and are often discovered via patient transfer table pad searches.
Accessories that keep scans moving
-
Universal Armboard / Wide Universal Armboard — Helpful for access-site stability during vascular and interventional ultrasound.
-
Leg Support — Elevation and stabilization for venous studies (think support legs / leg support).
Building your ultrasound “pathway”
-
Prep: Warm gel (Thermasonic® gel warmer), load ClearWave™ gel, lay table pad.
-
Barrier & clean: Use sterile probe covers when indicated; clean with ultrasound disinfectant wipes between patients.
-
Store: Dry and secure probes in a probe cabinet (GUS or mount-over); consider TEE probe storage if applicable.
-
Position: Adjust your ultrasound table height/sections; add armboard or leg support as needed.
-
Document: Maintain wipe logs and storage compliance records for audits.
FAQs
Q1. Can I use general wipes on probes?
Always follow the probe IFU. Ultrasound probe wipes like SONO are designed for compatible materials and disinfection claims used in ultrasound workflows.
Q2. Why warm ultrasound gel?
Comfort improves patient cooperation and reduces startle/muscle tension—small gains that add up in throughput.
Q3. Do I need a dedicated ultrasound probe storage cabinet?
Yes—proper drying and protected storage reduce cross-contamination risk and help meet policy and accreditation expectations.
Q4. When should I choose sterile probe covers?
For interventional, sterile field, or endocavitary procedures per protocol and probe IFU.
Q5. Which ultrasound examination table is best for vascular vs. echo?
Choose the vascular table with Fowler for venous work and access; choose the echocardiography table with cardiac cutout and left-side access for echo.
