ArjoHuntleigh Hydrosound® system is a method of cleaning
patients by means of low frequency, low intensity ultra sound.
Working together with water, it is an effective and skin friendly
method of cleaning the skin.
The amount of time and intensity setting used for
Hydrosound
system cleaning is a matter of choice consistent with the degree of
patient cleanliness required and patient comfort. The longer time
of exposure and the greater intensity setting, the more efficient
cleaning.
For patients experiencing
Hydrosound
system cleaning for the
first time, it is recommended that the intensity is set at the lower
levels before using the higher intensity settings.
