ULTRA SOUND GEL 250ML 1"S

About

Ultrasound gel is a water-based, viscous medium specifically formulated to facilitate the transmission of ultrasonic waves between a transducer and the patient's skin. Its primary function is to eliminate air pockets, which would otherwise scatter or reflect sound waves, thereby ensuring optimal acoustic coupling and clear image acquisition during diagnostic ultrasound examinations or therapeutic ultrasound treatments. The gel is typically hypoallergenic, non-staining, and easily removable, designed to be safe for direct skin contact.

It is crucial for accurate imaging in various medical specialties, including obstetrics, cardiology, and musculoskeletal assessment, as well as for effective delivery of therapeutic ultrasound energy. Proper application ensures the best possible diagnostic and therapeutic outcomes.

Uses

• Diagnostic ultrasound imaging.
• Therapeutic ultrasound treatments.
• Doppler fetal heart monitoring.
• Enhancing acoustic coupling for medical devices.

Directions For Use

Apply a generous amount of gel to the skin surface or transducer head. Wipe off excess after procedure.
