MEDICALEcho Gel Pad

Addressing the problem of image acquisition of uneven and superficial parts in ultrasound diagnosis.

Echo Gel Pads do not contain scatterers and are a medium that adheres to the skin and probe while providing good delineation of body surface structures.

In ultrasound diagnosis, it is difficult to acquire images of uneven surfaces and superficial layers. By replacing conventional soft jelly with Yasojima’s Echo Gel Pad for ultrasound diagnosis, it is possible to clearly visualize irregularities and superficial areas and acquire images without artifacts.

Currently, it is used in many medical fields such as orthopedic, plastic, and oral surgeries. In addition, the demand for Yasojima’s Echo Gel Pad in industrial non-destructive inspection is growing as inspection can be done without using water.

Features and Benefits

Yasojima Proceed conducts molecular design, compounding adjustments, and molding of its Echo Gel Pad for ultrasound diagnosis in-house. We also accept consultations on the design and molding of custom-made shapes to suit the application. It is also possible to customize the hardness of the Echo Gel Pad as required.
