Ultrasonic imagining helps physicians diagnose, identify, and treat various medical conditions swiftly to support patient care. They are capable of capturing quality images through high-frequency sound waves to assess a person’s internal body parts. The probe/transducer is integral to the performance of the ultrasound machine. There is a need for different types of medical grade adhesives, sealants and coatings in the assembling of such probes/transducers.
Selecting the proper transducer/probe is contingent on the following criteria:
- Frequency
- Footprint
- Frame rate functionality
Master Bond adhesives are capable fo being used in ultrasonic transducer/probes for medical applications such as:
- Linear probes
- Convex probes phased array/cardiac probes
- Endocavity probes
- Transesophogeal probes
- 3D/4D probes
They are commonly used by medical specialists for imaging the:
- Heart
- Kidneys
- Bladder
- Liver
- Spleen
- Skin
- Pancreas
- Brain
- Eyes
- Gallbladder
- Muscles
- Blood vessels
- Joints
It is also noteworthy that Master Bond compounds are able to play a valuable role in the production of parts for constructing ultrasound machines such as:
- Video monitors
- Central processing units
- Printers
- Keyboards
- Power supplies
- Video recorders
Master Bond has developed custom formulations which enable manufacturers to select from a wide array of choices while building miniaturized medical ultrasound machines. Compact, lightweight, portable devices allow maneuverability to multiple sites, to deliver care where needed, when necessary. Accurate, speedy diagnosis and prompt treatment decisions have had a major impact on improved patient outcomes. Growing adoption of these devices at affordable prices offers much future growth potential.
