Ultrasound accessories include contact gel for use between the ultrasound head and the skin. The KU dosing pump is intended for dispensing the contact gel. When selecting a pump, please note that standard canister pumps are not designed for the thicker consistency of the gel.
Ultrasound therapy only transmits sound waves into tissue without loss when no air gap remains between the transducer and the skin. That is what a contact gel does: it couples the transducer to the skin and keeps the energy where it is meant to work.
We stock the gel in practice sizes: the 5-litre canisters are considerably cheaper per millilitre than single bottles and dispense cleanly with the matching pump. Mind the model: contact gel needs the KU pump, ordinary canister pumps are not built for this consistency.
