摘要:
The present disclosure discusses conductive pads that are disposable, shape-stable lubricious hydrogel couplants that can be used in place of liquid gel couplants the field of ultrasound. The conductive pad can include dual-surface acoustic hydrogel couplants that have one adhesive surface to provide a position-stable coupling to a transducer or other contact surface and a second surface that is lubricious, enabling it to slide across the surface of a test subject. The lubricious surface of the hydrogel enables low friction repositioning of the transducer. The conductive pad can also include a plurality of layers, each of which can include different properties.
