Ultrasound gel is a safe and non-toxic conductive medium used to create a bond between skin and ultrasound transducers. It is a combination of water, propylene glycol, glycerin, phenoxyethanol, or carbapol R 940 polymer, dyes, and perfume. Ultrasound gel can provide relief from pain, promote tissue healing, and have a shelf life of 5 years. To control infection, the gel must be used within 28 days of opening the bottle. It is less expensive, easy to use, and has a sticky, clear, and thick texture that does not drip when applied to the skin.
The market for Ultrasound Gels is anticipated to grow significantly due to the increased use of ultrasound in disease detection and the detection of associated complications. The World Health Organization has reported that diagnostic ultrasound is used for detecting problems during pregnancy, including fetal growth and genetic conditions. In addition, the availability of less expensive ultrasound gels is driving market growth.
