The Blood Flow Monitor aids surgeons and nurses to monitor blood flow during transplant and reconstructive surgeries.
Cook Medical Surgery business unit vice president Andy Cron said its Doppler DP-M350 Blood Flow Monitor has the ability to detect changes in blood flow immediately following transplant and reconstructive surgeries so a surgeon can intervene before free flap failure.
University of Pittsburgh surgery assistant professor Michael Gimbel said Cook’s Doppler system has the ability to monitor difficult-to-reach vascular areas and detect a stop in blood flow so a surgeon can intervene before it’s too late.
"Additionally, the Cook system aids in flap insetting, as it can help detect a vessel kink prior to leaving the OR," Gimbel said.
