Heat-Controlled laser Doppler

Heat combined with laser Doppler can be used to determine the viability of tissue and the degree of microcirculatory impairment. The increase in blood perfusion as a response to local heating indicates tissue reserve capacity and endothelial function. These are important parameters for predicting healing and determining amputation level.

PeriFlux System 5000 supports heat-controlled measurements. A PF 5020 Temp Unit in combination with a PF 5010 laser Doppler Unit and thermostatic probes will register the local blood perfusion changes during heating.

Features:

• Non-invasive, small probes for easy positioning
• No pain during measurement
• Automatic calculation of percentage-change and absolute values
• Possibility of adding other complementary techniques such as tcpO₂
