Different Types of Conductive Gels & Coupling Agents
The available conductive gels and coupling agents are intended for different areas of application - but only for external use.
Electrode & Coupling Agents for Medical Examinations
For a medical health check of the heart (ECG), muscle activity (EMG) or neurological examinations of the brain (EEG), electrodes are treated with conductive gel, conductive cream or a conductive contact spray and applied to the patient's body. The respective coupling agent ensures better transmission of the electrical impulses due to its conductivity.
IPL Gel for Permanent Laser Hair Removal
IPL gel is used as a cooling, skin-friendly contact agent during permanent laser hair removal (IPL treatment). The gel spreads on the skin without bubbles and allows the light pulses from the IPL device to pass through without any problems.
Ultrasound Gel for Examinations and Therapy
During the ultrasound examination, a so-called sound head is coated with a conductive gel to ensure optimal image reproduction - e.g. when examining fetuses in the womb. The ultrasound gel offered is mucous membrane-friendly, non-dripping and water-soluble.
