GEM FLOWCOUPLER

AUDITORY FEEDBACK

Alignment of the probe and accurate monitoring of the velles, reduction noise and interference of adjucent vessels. The fully insulated silver-coated copper coaxial lead wire is less sensitive to noise and signal interference. Loss of an audible signal alerts staff that a potential problem with perfusion may exist.

RAPID DETECTION

Monitoring of the outflow vein of the flap will detect cessation of venous flow almost immediately. Interruption of arterial flow will cause a near-immediate loss of the venous Doppler signal. Venous monitoring clearly offers a distinct advantage over arterial monitoring with regard to detecting venous thrombosis and simultaneously serves as a monitor of arterial flow.

EARLY INTERVENTION

Timing of presentation of flap compromise is a significant predictor in flap salvage rates. Intensive monitoring in the initial postoperative period by the clinician leads to early re-exploration and more likely repair.

IMPROVED OUTCOME THROUGH DOPPLER MONITORING

Reduce Needless Re-explorations. Increase Flap Salvage Rates. Minimize Flap Loss.
