EcoVue® Ultrasound Transmission Gel

EcoVue Ultrasound Gel

The EcoVue ultrasound gel is a sustainable and high-quality gel developed by HR Pharmaceuticals. Its innovative design reduces Co2 footprint with its natural ingredients and sustainable packaging. Moreover, EcoVue has been designed to maintain its viscosity and acoustic velocity through a wide range of temperatures.

It is available in a variety of packaging types: 250 ml bottle, 250 ml FlexPac, 20 gram packet, 32 gram packet, and 60 gram FlipTop tube. The 250 ml bottle is able to fit in all types of gel warmers.

EcoVue HV

The EcoVue HV gel is the ideal solution for clinicians who value the high-quality, natural benefits of the EcoVue line but who desire a more viscous solution. This gel is 35% thicker than its standard counterparts and has been specially designed for hard-to-scan surfaces.

EcoVue HV is the best option for ultrasound users seeking greater staying power and will facilitate scans with improved accuracy. It’s important to note that this increased viscosity doesn’t come at the cost of natural ingredients: users will find the original, organic EcoVue formula which they’ve come to love in the HV line. That means no propylene glycol or parabens, less waste, and higher quality care.

Sustainability and quality

The EcoVue FlexPac offers medical practices a sustainable option for their ultrasound gel needs. It has been ergonomically designed for easy use and increased functionality. The FlexPac permits for up to 99.5% evacuation of product. As a result, the FlexPac saves more gel than regular bottles. These savings in gel waste result in a positive impact on the environment and industry: 1.5 million less containers in landfills, 800,000 less pounds of gel in landfills, and $1.875 million in savings for the industry.

Moreover, EcoVue's sustainable features do not sacrifice quality. Designed with the patient in mind, this gel has been formulated with 99% naturally fermented ingredients. It is also free of parabens and propylene glycol. The gel also features its own unique preservative system that keeps the gel safe after opening. In addition, it can maintain a constant acoustic velocity at 104 degrees Fahrenheit; therefore, heat has little to no effect on EcoVue’s performance. Via its innovative formula, EcoVue contributes to an increase in patient safety and comfort.

EcoVue ultrasound gel is CA Prop 65 compliant. This signifies that no ingredients present in the gel are known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. It is also FDA approved.

Cost-efficient packaging

EcoVue’s packaging options provide medical practices with a cost-efficient solution.

The FlexPac allows for maximum evacuation of the product while also reducing the product’s impact on the enviroment. Moreover, the secondary packaging of the gel is made of recycled materials. It is lightweight and requires less energy to manufacture, and as a result, reduces the gel's carbon footprint.

As a single-use product, EcoVue fulfills the FDA’s recommendation against the refilling of ultrasound bottles and containers. This reduces the risk of cross-contamination and the spread of healthcare-associated infections.
