Seromas and Hematomas

Seromas and Hematomas are the build-ups of fluids in a place on the body where tissue has been removed. They often or as a complication of surgery but can also develop after an injury. A seroma contains a clear, slightly yellow-tinged fluid and often grows slowly. While a hematoma contains red blood cells and frank blood. The later can develop more rapidly, especially if there was internal damage done to a blood vessel.

Which Ultrasound  Scanner is best for Seromas and hematomas assessment?

Thanks to its depth range from 40 mm to 200 mm, The Convex and Linear Color Doppler Wi-Fi Double Head Ultrasound Scanner CLCD is highly recommended to our Oncologist and plastic surgeons clients. The CLCD is the most suitable device to detect these pockets of fluid whenever found in tissues.

The Convex probe of the Color Double Head WiFi Ultrasound Scanner has a 3.5 to 5 MHz frequency. It can go deep from 40 to 200 mm to monitor, exam, and diagnose the internal organs of the body. The wireless probe has a wide range of uses in the medical arena.

Also, its Linear side Frequency goes from 40 to 100 mm. Its frequency varies from 7.5 to 10 MHz. Physicians use this Probe to visualize Thyroid, Breast, and Arteria carotid of vascular application. For this reason, it is vital in assessing Seromas and Hematomas. In which it can highlight the depth, volume, and extension of the fluid.

An Ultrasound is used to evaluate the structure, which often has a honey-comb appearance. Moreover, Ultrasound-guided percutaneous drain placement is an acceptable approach to early postoperative seroma formation.An Ultrasound is used to evaluate the structure, which often has a honey-comb appearance.

Apart from being easy to carry and to operate, the ultrasound also allows the practitioner to gather more information about the fluid within the cavity and the extent of its spread. Occasionally a sample of the fluid will be aspirated using a needle and sterile technique.
