Ultrasound Probes and Transducers

Ultrasound probes, also called ultrasound transducers, are handheld devices that are used to send and receive sound waves into the human body for imaging purposes. These probes have piezoelectric crystals inside which are responsible for producing and sensing the sound waves. Using the speed of sound and the amount of time it takes to receive a response, or an echo, from different tissues inside the body, the ultrasound system can produce a 2D, 3D, or 4D image. Ultrasound probes come in different shapes and sizes. These probes have different fields of views, frequencies, and crystal arrangements. Some of the more popular types of transducers used today fall under the categories linear, convex, or phased array.

Refurbished Ultrasound Probes

Soma Tech Intl offers demo and refurbished ultrasound probes and transducers up to 50% below the cost of new. The ultrasound probes Soma offers come with the same service and warranty contracts as the manufacturer. These ultrasounds are not only technically refurbished, but are also cosmetically refurbished. Before these units arrive at your facility, they not only function like new, they also look like new, thanks to our in-house team of biomedical engineers.
