Professional-grade medical ultrasound coupling agent
Ultrasound coupling agent is a universal transmission medium used for acoustic coupling between transducers and the human body surface during in vitro therapeutic and diagnostic ultrasound imaging. It is a conductive gel suitable for various beauty and skincare instruments and ultrasound examinations. It is moisturizing, hypoallergenic, water-based, non-greasy, and fragrance-free.
Ultrasound coupling gel is a fundamental component of ultrasound imaging and is essential for acquiring high-quality, high-resolution images in a variety of medical settings, including obstetrics, gynecology, cardiology, and musculoskeletal imaging. The gel's formulation, composed of carbomer, glycerin, triethanolamine, and water, is designed to improve ultrasound transmission by reducing air gaps and enhancing acoustic coupling between the transducer and the skin. It ensures that ultrasound waves can effectively pass through the gel and enter the body, resulting in precise, high-resolution imaging.
Professional-grade medical ultrasound coupling agent, compatible with various beauty and skincare devices.
Water-based formula | Moisturizing and non-sticky | Hypoallergenic | Fragrance-free and oil-free
Refreshing to the touch, stable conduction, suitable for daily care and professional use.
Why is coupling gel needed during measurement? What is its function?
Because air severely impedes signal transmission, coupling gel is required during measurement.
Couplet fills the tiny gaps between the probe and the skin, effectively reducing signal loss, improving conduction efficiency, resulting in clearer images and more accurate data. It also reduces friction, improving patient comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q:What is an ultrasound coupling gel?
A:An ultrasound coupling gel, also known as ultrasound coupling gel or ultrasound imaging gel, is a transparent or slightly colored gel-like substance used in medical imaging procedures, particularly ultrasound examinations. It acts as a medium to enhance the transmission of ultrasound waves between the skin and the ultrasound transducer, thereby improving image quality.
Q:How is it applied during an ultrasound examination?
A:Apply the gel directly to the skin at the site of the examination. Apply an appropriate amount of gel to ensure good contact between the ultrasound transducer and the skin surface.
Q:Is this coupling gel safe for the skin?
A:Yes, its formula is safe for the skin. It is gentle and non-irritating, designed to be applied to the skin during ultrasound examinations without causing any harm or discomfort.
Q:Is it easy to wash off afterward?
A:Yes, this gel is water-based and designed to be easily wiped off the skin with a towel or tissue after an ultrasound examination.
Q:Can it be used for therapeutic ultrasound?
A:Yes, it can also be used during therapeutic ultrasound treatments to ensure proper transmission of therapeutic ultrasound waves.
Q:Can it be heated before use?
A:Yes, slightly heating the gel can improve patient comfort during treatment. However, avoid overheating, as excessively high temperatures will degrade the gel's quality.
Q:Will ultrasound coupling gel stain clothes?
A:This gel is water-based and generally will not stain clothes. However, it's best to wipe it clean promptly to avoid leaving residue, especially on delicate fabrics.
Q:Can it be used with other imaging devices?
A:Ultrasound coupling gel is primarily used for ultrasound examinations, but it can also be used in other devices that require a conductive medium, such as Doppler ultrasound. Medical ultrasound coupling gel is also suitable for electrodes or ECG/EEG devices.
Usage Instructions
For fetal heart rate monitoring (example application):
- Press the power button of the fetal doppler to turn it on
- Apply an appropriate amount of coupling gel to the skin (on the abdomen where the fetus is likely to be)
- Place the probe gently against the abdomen, then slowly move it around to search for the fetal heart position until clear fetal heart sounds are detected
Tip: For best results, ensure the probe maintains continuous contact with the skin during movement, and adjust pressure gently to avoid discomfort.
