HaseMed Ultrasound Gel

Overview

HaseMed Ultrasound Gel is a professional acoustic contact medium for diagnostic sonography, ultrasound therapy, and physiotherapy. Manufactured in Germany under vacuum conditions, the gel is absolutely bubble-free from the first drop, delivering clear, artefact-free imaging across abdominal, vascular, cardiac, thyroid, musculoskeletal, and obstetric examinations. The pH-balanced formula (pH 5.8 - 6.4) is dermatologically tested, skin- and mucosa-neutral, and free from formaldehyde, fragrances, and dyes, making it suitable for sensitive patients, prenatal care, and extended therapy sessions. Available in sizes from 250 ml bottles to 10 L canisters, HaseMed Ultrasound Gel is engineered to be harmless to both skin and transducer heads, preserving probe longevity in high-volume clinical settings.

Key benefits

• Bubble-free under vacuum: Produced under vacuum conditions, eliminating air inclusions that cause imaging artefacts and signal dropout.
• Dermatologically tested, pH 5.8 - 6.4: Skin- and mucosa-neutral for sensitive patients, pregnant women, paediatric imaging, and repeated physiotherapy sessions.
• Low allergenic potential: Free from formaldehyde, perfumes, colourants, and parabens; reduces risk of contact reactions on broken or inflamed skin adjacent to the scan field.
• Transducer-safe: Non-corrosive to probe membranes and housings on standard linear, curved, phased-array, and TEE transducers.
• Residue-controlled: Wipes off cleanly, minimises staining on gowns and linen, and supports rapid patient turnover.
• Long shelf life: Stable for 36 months, simplifying stock rotation in practices, hospital wards, and mobile imaging units.
• Made in Germany: Manufactured to consistent pharmaceutical-grade quality standards for reliable daily use.

Clinical context and who it is for

HaseMed Ultrasound Gel is designed for healthcare professionals who rely on reproducible acoustic coupling as the foundation of diagnostic accuracy. It supports a broad range of specialties and care settings:

• Radiology and internal medicine: Abdominal, renal, thyroid, and vascular Doppler studies where bubble-free coupling directly affects image resolution.
• Obstetrics and gynaecology: Routine pregnancy scans, fetal heart monitoring (CTG), and transabdominal examinations, where a hypoallergenic, fragrance-free gel is essential for maternal comfort.
• Cardiology: Echocardiography and carotid Doppler assessments requiring stable, long-dwell acoustic contact.
• Emergency and point-of-care (POCUS): FAST scans, lung ultrasound, and vascular access procedures where rapid, reliable coupling is critical.
• Physiotherapy and rehabilitation: Therapeutic ultrasound, TENS, and electrotherapy on tendons, joints, and soft tissue injuries.
• Aesthetic and dermatological practice: HIFU, radiofrequency, cavitation, and skin-analysis devices.
• Veterinary medicine: Companion-animal and large-animal sonography with a skin-safe formulation.

It is equally suited to single-room GP practices, multi-specialty MVZ centres, hospital imaging departments, and mobile diagnostic services that need a dependable, high-volume consumable.

Application

Apply a sufficient quantity of HaseMed Ultrasound Gel directly to the patient's skin or onto the transducer head. Move the probe slowly across the region of interest to maintain a continuous acoustic window. After the examination, wipe residual gel from the skin and the probe with a soft, dry tissue or lint-free cloth, then clean and disinfect the transducer according to the device manufacturer's instructions.

For canister sizes (5 L and 10 L), use the HaseMed dispensing pump (DIN 45 or DIN 51 thread) to decant gel into smaller bottles at the point of care. This reduces waste, keeps workstations tidy, and prevents cross-contamination between examinations. The gel is intended strictly for external use. Do not apply to open wounds, eyes, or mucous membranes. Keep containers tightly closed between uses and store away from direct sunlight and frost.

FAQ

Is HaseMed Ultrasound Gel safe for use during pregnancy and on sensitive skin?

Yes. The formulation is dermatologically tested, pH-balanced (5.8 - 6.4), and free from formaldehyde, fragrances, and dyes, which makes it well tolerated in obstetric scanning and on reactive or sensitive skin.

Will the gel damage ultrasound transducers?

No. HaseMed Ultrasound Gel is formulated to be harmless to transducer heads and housings when used and cleaned according to the probe manufacturer's recommendations. It does not contain additives known to attack standard probe materials.

Why does bubble-free matter in practice?

Air inclusions scatter ultrasound waves and create acoustic shadows that obscure anatomy. Because HaseMed gel is manufactured under vacuum, it remains homogeneous from the first to the last drop, supporting consistent image quality throughout a shift.

How long can the gel be kept in stock?

Unopened containers have a shelf life of 36 months, which simplifies bulk ordering and stock rotation in higher-volume imaging departments.

Which size should a busy practice order?

Single rooms and mobile teams often prefer 250 ml or 500 ml squeeze bottles for direct bedside use. Imaging centres, hospital departments, and physiotherapy clinics typically choose 5 L or 10 L canisters combined with refill bottles and a DIN dispensing pump to minimise consumable cost per examination.
