Check Blood Supply for Cutaneous Flap

After the operation of the cutaneous flap (skin flap), doctors should examine the vascular diameter, flow volume, flow velocity, resistance index, pulsatility index, and acceleration time to see the success of the operation.

All these examinations as well as the Vascular Waveform analysis of the flap feeding vessel are made by a color Doppler ultrasonography. In addition, Doppler Ultrasound provides you with the flow volume, vascular resistance, and arterial waveform to clarify the hemodynamics of the flap.

Which ultrasound scanner for checking Blood supply for cutaneous flap?

SIFULTRAS-5.34 with its Doppler Feature and high frequency linear surface probe (7.5–10 MHz) Not only enables to examine all that, but also helps in visualizing the vessels simultaneously with the fascia, muscle, adipose tissue and bone to fully understand the running of the flap feeding vessels.

Ultrasound is useful also in the early revelation of the vascular obstruction as postoperative thrombosis. It can also provide quantitative observation of blood stream speed of the anastomotic vessels after surgery, and evaluate blood Supply for Cutaneous
