Clinical Applications

• Assessing wound healing potential
• Monitoring pre/post-therapy (e.g., surgery, compression)
• Arterial reconstruction planning and post-procedure monitoring
• Determine the optimal amputation level
• Amputation planning and post-procedure monitoring
• Assisting in the diagnosis of peripheral arterial disease (PAD), critical limb ischemia [3] and other microcirculatory derangements

Studies Have Shown That Skin Perfusion Pressure:

• Correctly indicates wound healing potential. Pressures above
  30 mmHg predict healing success whereas pressures below 30 mmHg predict healing failure. [1]
• Correlates with toe pressure and can be utilized in patients in whom toe pressures cannot be measured. [2]
• Much faster test to perform than transcutaneous PO2 (TcPO2) measurements and predicts wound healing outcomes with greater accuracy. [4]
  
  

"We've always been at the cutting edge of technology. We've always done new things in the cath lab. The SensiLase System is a way of telling us how well we've perfused the skin and how good a job we're doing."
