Ultrasonic showers served as a method for personal cleansing, sharing resemblances with sonic showers and other types of showers. The Refresher Booths manufactured by zZip Product Concepts Limited featured a completely self-operating ultrasonic shower that integrated bacta into its cleaning process.
The debut of the ultrasonic shower as purchasable equipment occurred in Galladinium's Fantastic Technology, a resource published in 1995 by West End Games for the Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game.
