6.3
The
treatment
head
A treatment head is a precision instrument. Great care is taken in the
development and production in order to obtain the best possible beam
characteristics. Rough treatment (jarring or dropping) can adversely affect
these characteristics, and must therefore be avoided.
6.4
The contact
medium
In order to ensure efficient transfer of energy, a contact medium is
required between the treatment head and the body. Air causes virtually
total reflection of the ultrasound energy. The best medium for the transfer
of ultrasound energy is a gel. But the ultrasound gel is expected by the
user to buy their own.
Liberally apply transmission gel to the treatment area on the patient.
Move the treatment head during therapy session in a circular motion.
The area treated should be two times the diameter of the treatment
head.
If the body surface is very irregular, making it difficult to obtain good
contact between the treatment head and the body, or if direct contact
must be avoided (e.g. due to pain), the affected area may be treated
under water (subaqual method). The water should be degassed (by
previous boiling ) in order to prevent air bubbles arising on the
treatment head and the body.
Caution:
Never apply the gel to the treatment head. The treatment
head will register this as contact and may emit ultrasound energy,
which could damage the treatment head.

Always use the gel with the requirements of the medical, such as with
CE mark, or are legally marketed in the US.
