High-Conductivity ECG and Ultrasound Gel – Hypoallergenic, Non-Greasy, Water-Soluble (10 pcs)

ECG and ultrasound gels are conductive substances used in medical diagnostics to enhance the transmission of electrical signals and sound waves between devices and the patient's skin. They are essential in procedures such as electrocardiograms (ECG) and ultrasound imaging to ensure accurate and clear results.

Key Features:

• Composition: Typically water-based, salt-free, and free from formaldehyde and latex to minimize skin irritation.

• Conductivity: Enhances the transmission of electrical impulses for ECGs and sound waves for ultrasounds, ensuring clear and accurate readings.

• Viscosity: Formulated to spread easily and uniformly without running, providing consistent coverage during procedures.

• Hypoallergenic: Designed to be non-irritating and suitable for all skin types.

• Non-Greasy and Water-Soluble: Allows for easy application and removal without leaving residue on the skin or equipment.
