Philips C5-1 PureWave curved-array probe with 160 elements and a 1–5 MHz range. Designed for abdominal, obstetric, gynecological, urological and interventional imaging.
The Philips C5-1 is a broadband curved-array ultrasound transducer featuring Philips PureWave crystal technology. Designed for demanding diagnostic examinations, it combines a broad 1–5 MHz frequency range with a 160-element curved array to provide versatile imaging across a wide range of clinical applications.
The C5-1 incorporates Philips PureWave crystal technology, developed to provide efficient acoustic energy transmission and broad bandwidth. This technology supports high-quality imaging across different patient types and is particularly useful when examinations are technically challenging. Philips documentation highlights the transducer's performance for patients who may be difficult to image, including patients with higher body habitus.
The C5-1 is designed for a broad range of general and specialized ultrasound examinations. Philips specifies applications including abdominal, obstetrical, gynecological, urological and interventional imaging.
The C5-1 is designed to maintain useful imaging performance across a wide range of patient types. Philips specifically describes the transducer as suitable for high-performance fetal, abdominal, interventional and OB/GYN examinations, including examinations involving technically challenging patients.
Its curved-array geometry and 111° field of view provide broad anatomical coverage, while the 1–5 MHz bandwidth allows the operator to select appropriate imaging characteristics according to examination depth and clinical requirements.
Philips documentation describes the C5-1 as lightweight and designed for comfortable handling. Its flexible cable and balanced transducer design are intended to reduce operator fatigue during prolonged or technically demanding examinations. The transducer's minimized elevation dimension also facilitates access between the ribs during challenging intercostal examinations.
The C5-1 is biopsy capable, making it suitable for ultrasound-guided procedures when the appropriate biopsy accessories and system configuration are used. Its curved-array design provides a broad scanning window for visualizing anatomical structures during interventional examinations.
