• Compact Footprint: The small curved head allows for better contact in difficult-to-reach areas.

• Broadband Imaging: Supports multiple frequencies, allowing the user to toggle between deeper penetration and higher resolution.

• Biopsy Compatibility: Can be fitted with a reusable stainless steel needle guide (UST-9133 Needle Guide) for precision procedures.

• Ergonomic Build: Designed for ease of use during long clinical shifts with a flexible, high-strain cable.

The Hitachi Aloka UST-9133 is a specialized Micro-convex Array transducer. Unlike standard convex probes, micro-convex probes have a much smaller "head" (footprint), making them ideal for navigating small acoustic windows, such as between ribs or for pediatric patients. It is a high-precision Japanese instrument known for its durability and excellent near-field resolution.

• Type: Micro-convex Array

• Frequency Range: 2.0 MHz – 6.0 MHz (Multi-frequency)

• Form Factor: Small Radius Curved Array

• Compatibility: Compatible with Aloka ProSound series (Alpha 6, Alpha 7, Alpha 10, F31, F37) and SSD series (SSD-3500, SSD-4000).

• Certification: CE, FDA, and ISO13485 certified.

Typically packaged in a custom-molded medical case with protective caps for the acoustic lens.

• Pediatric Abdominal: The small size is perfect for scanning infants and children.

• Interventional/Intraoperative: Used during surgeries to locate small structures or guide needles.

• Veterinary: Widely used in vet clinics for small animal internal imaging.

• Emergency Medicine: Useful for quick assessments where a smaller probe is needed to fit between ribs (Intercostal scanning).

Maintenance: Requires careful cleaning with pH-neutral disinfectants. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the specialized acoustic rubber on the micro-convex head.
