Yikes. What is going on with this ultrasound probe? 🤔⠀⁠
⁠
Share this one with a friend who needs to know...⁠
⠀⁠
It turns out mineral oil (liquid paraffin) was used routinely for rectal ultrasound examinations instead of obstetrical lubricant in this practice. ⠀⁠
⠀⁠
Mineral oil or other oil-based products used instead of ultrasound scanning gel, can cause damage to the transducer. In this case, the probe lost its flexibility.⠀⁠
⠀⁠
The sensitive rubber lens which focuses the ultrasound beam and protects the crystals can also be damaged by oil-based products. ⠀⁠
⠀⁠
Many warranties provided by manufacturers of ultrasound equipment specifically mention oil-based products as potentially damaging to the transducer. ⠀⁠
⠀⁠
⚠️If you do use oil-based products please remember to put the probe in a protective sleeve with ultrasound gel or obstetrical lubricant.⚠️⠀⁠
