When coupled with acoustic scan gels, the gel pad facilitates conformal contact between transducer and skin surface and facilitates lossless ultrasonic transmission.
The additional standoff effect provided by the gel pad brilliantly delineates superficial tissues, when compared with direct probe skin contact alone.
The gel pads unique properties of flexibility, durability, clarity and lossless ultrasonic transmission capacity, combined with its standoff effect, allows the practitioner to visualize tissues in question regardless of local contour of superficiality.
