Peripheral pressures, Toe/Ankle pressure, ABI/TBI

Toe and ankle pressures, as well as calculations of toe/ankle-brachial index are commonly used to assess vascular status in patients with suspected peripheral arterial disease. Toe pressures are particularly important in patients showing falsely high ankle pressures due to calcified vessels. (TASC II)

PeriFlux System 5000 offers an easy-to-use solution for peripheral pressure measurements based on laser Doppler technology.

Features:

• Laser Doppler is more sensitive than photoplethysmography in the low pressure range ¹
• Number of sites measured simultaneously is flexible and expandable
• Dedicated PSW ExM software streamlines the examination procedure

Procedure step-by-step:

1. Attach cuffs and laser Doppler probes 
2. Perform measurements
3. Report automatically generated
