Description

Key Features:

  • Acoustically Correct: The primary feature of this gel is its ability to facilitate the transmission of sound waves. It eliminates the air interface between the ultrasound transducer and the patient's skin, which would otherwise block or distort the sound waves. This is essential for both diagnostic imaging and therapeutic applications.

  • Medium Viscosity: The gel has a specific thickness that allows it to spread evenly over the skin without dripping or running. This consistency is ideal for easy application and ensures a good coupling between the probe and the body.

  • Water-Soluble and Hypoallergenic: The formula is designed to be non-greasy, non-staining, and easy to clean from the skin, clothing, and equipment. It is also hypoallergenic, making it safe for a wide range of patients, including those with sensitive skin.

  • Bacteriostatic: The gel is formulated to be resistant to bacterial growth, which is a critical feature for maintaining hygiene and preventing cross-contamination in a clinical environment.

  • Bulk Packaging: The "Value Pack" and "5-liter Cubes, 4/cs" (four cubes per case) indicates that this product is intended for high-volume use. This economical packaging is a practical feature for hospitals, clinics, and physical therapy practices that perform numerous ultrasound procedures.

Uses:

The Sammons Preston Economy Ultrasound Gel is used for a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic applications in professional medical settings:

  • Therapeutic Ultrasound: It is a vital component in physical therapy and rehabilitation. Clinicians use it to ensure the effective transmission of sound waves from a therapeutic ultrasound machine into the body's tissues. This is done to treat conditions such as muscle strains, sprains, and chronic pain.

  • Diagnostic Ultrasound (Sonography): It is widely used in diagnostic imaging to obtain clear pictures of internal organs, a fetus during pregnancy, and other soft tissue structures. The gel is applied to the skin to create a clear path for the sound waves, resulting in high-quality images for accurate diagnosis.

  • Ultrasound-Guided Procedures: The gel is also used in medical procedures where a healthcare professional needs to visualize a target in real-time with an ultrasound. This can include guidance for injections, biopsies, or catheter placement.
