Which ultrasonic probes do we repair?

Only perfect functionality of the probe guarantees that you can provide your patients with optimum care when using the ultrasound device. For this reason, the repair in a specialised workshop crucial. Our service covers the following types of ultrasonic probes, among others:

  • Linear probes: Probes with rectangular elements that generate parallel sound waves. Typical areas of application are muscles, tendons, thyroid gland, breast, vessels and joints.
  • Convex probes: These probes have a curved surface that generates a wider sound beam. They are suitable for abdominal examinations, for example.
  • Phased array probes: These probes use phase shifting to control the sound beam - ideal for cardiological examinations.
  • TEE probes: Transoesophageal echocardiography probes are inserted into the oesophagus to view the heart at close range.
  • 3D/4D probes: These probes capture three-dimensional images in real time (4D adds the dimension of time). Pregnancy examinations are a popular area of application.
  • Matrix array probes: Up to 60,000 crystal elements are installed in matrix probes, which allow several viewing angles at the same time. This makes them one of the most demanding repair jobs.
  • Other probe types: Ask us about your specific probe type.
