The core mission of medical ultrasound gel is to act as a bridge for the efficient and stable transmission of ultrasound between the probe and the human body. At the same time, it must be safe and harmless to the expensive ultrasound probe. Therefore, "stable sound conduction" and "equipment care" are the key performance indicators for evaluating the quality of an ultrasound gel.
The stability of sound conduction performance is the foundation for ensuring image quality. The ultrasound gel of Pingchuang Medical is carefully designed to have an acoustic impedance similar to that of human soft tissue, which can minimize the reflection loss of sound waves at the interface and improve the penetration efficiency of acoustic energy. At the same time, the formula has been optimized to have a lower acoustic attenuation coefficient, ensuring that the energy loss of ultrasound during propagation in the coupling agent medium is minimized. This means that whether probing superficial tissues or deep organs, stronger echo signals can be obtained, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio and penetration power of the image.
The high uniformity and bubble-free characteristics of the product are crucial for stable sound conduction. Pingchuang Medical uses advanced vacuum homogenization emulsification technology to produce, effectively eliminating the tiny bubbles that may exist in the gel. Bubbles will severely scatter and attenuate ultrasound, interfere with signal transmission. The uniform and delicate gel texture ensures the consistency of the propagation path of sound waves in the medium, avoiding artifacts and distortion caused by uneven medium. This pursuit of purity and uniformity lays a foundation for obtaining stable and reliable acoustic images.
The physical properties of the coupling agent also affect the stability of sound conduction. Pingchuang Medical provides coupling agents with different viscosity grades, allowing users to choose the viscosity that is most suitable for the examination site and operational habits. Appropriate viscosity can ensure that the coupling agent remains stably attached to the skin surface during the examination, maintaining good acoustic contact between the probe and the skin, when the probe moves or the patient's position changes. Good spreading properties and certain moisturizing properties can also extend the effective coupling time, avoiding signal interruption or quality decline due to the rapid drying of the coupling agent.
"Caring for equipment" is also a focus of Pingchuang Medical. Ultrasound probes are precise and expensive medical equipment, and their surface acoustic lenses and matching layers are sensitive to chemicals. Pingchuang Medical's ultrasound gel is designed with a neutral or weak acidic pH value, close to the skin's physiological pH, and is gentle and non-corrosive. It uses high-purity medical-grade raw materials, avoiding harmful impurities or solvents that could damage the probe surface. The product is easy to clean, and it can be easily wiped off after the examination, reducing the potential impact of residues on the probe. These characteristics collectively ensure that the coupling agent can effectively function without causing damage to the ultrasound equipment, thereby extending the service life of the equipment.
The excellent performance is backed by strict quality control. Pingchuang Medical conducts tests on key indicators such as sound velocity, viscosity, pH value, and microorganisms for every batch of products to ensure that its performance always meets high standards. The production management system in compliance with ISO 13485 and GMP requirements guarantees the batch stability and consistency of product performance.
