PATIENT PREPARATION

ULTRASOUND THERAPY PATIENT PREPARATION

Before applying the sound head to the patient, you must first prepare the patient's skin for ultrasound therapy. By properly preparing the
patient's skin for ultrasound therapy, you will allow more ultrasound energy to reach the targeted areas and reduce the risk of skin irritation.
To prepare the patient's skin for ultrasound therapy, do the following:
1. Thoroughly wash the skin on which you intend to place the sound head with mild soap and water.
2. Dry the skin thoroughly.
3. Apply the ultrasound gel generously to the target area on the patient.
NOTE: For combination therapy, place the electrode on the black (-) lead and use Stim Channel 1.
