We have a new ultrasound gel warmer
It may seem like a small thing, but ultrasound gel is inherently cold. When applied to an area of the body (especially the lower back) it can feel like a block of ice, which usually makes you jump (not a good thing if you've already got a bad back!) So to make you all feel much more comfortable when receiving ultrasound treatments I have made a small investment in a bottle warmer (usually used for heating a babies milk) this raises the temperature of the ultrasound gel to a point where it feels “tepid” to touch, much more accept able and comfortable when you're having your ultrasound treatments from now on.
