Abstract
The therapeutic ultrasound gel is a composition that lubricates the abdomen for ultrasound scanning, that enhances the transmission of sound waves during ultrasound diagnostic imaging, and that has beneficial therapeutic effects in preventing the formation of stretch marks. The composition contains effective amounts of aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis), glycerin, and various agents for preventing the formation of stretch marks, with the balance being sufficient water to adjust the consistency of the composition. The composition may also be formulated for home use, chiefly by the addition of vitamin D3 or, alternatively, vitamin K. Either formulation may contain additional excipients, including surfactants, emulsifiers, humectants, stabilizers, thickeners, pH balancers, preservatives, colorants, and scent, if desired.
