Hydrogel for ultrasonic probe, ultrasonic probe with hydrogel and ultrasonic diagnostic equipment

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To effectively suppress an odor peculiar to PVA and reduce discomfort at the time of use, which is a PVA hydrogel for an ultrasonic probe used by interposing it between an ultrasonic probe and a living body. Provided are a PVA hydrogel capable, an ultrasonic probe with a hydrogel using the same, and an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus. SOLUTION: The hydrogel for an ultrasonic probe used by interposing between an ultrasonic probe and a subject, and the hydrogel is a polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel containing a silver-containing compound, for an ultrasonic probe. Hydrogel, ultrasonic probe with hydrogel and ultrasonic diagnostic equipment using this. [Selection diagram] Fig. 1
