Surgical Vascular Dopplers
Click-in-Place Surgical Vascular Dopplers for Seamless Flow Checks
VascuChek—The First Handheld Surgical Vascular Doppler
Stop wasting valuable time in the OR with antiquated, corded Doppler devices that don’t work or require assistance to operate. With the VascuChek® surgical Doppler, surgeons have complete control of vascular flow checks and give circulating nurses the freedom to take care of other important OR tasks.
VascuChek is the first handheld and cordless surgical Doppler system that uses disposable Doppler probes to produce sound representing blood flow within a vessel. It’s intended for the intraoperative and transcutaneous evaluation of blood flow in the following clinical applications:
- Intraoperative (Microvascular and Vascular)
- Intraoperative Neurological
- Peripheral Vascular
VascuChek outperforms current Doppler systems that use a large transceiver box equipped with tethered probes and restrictive cords. With this handheld, intuitive device, you can instantly check your patients’ blood flow in a non-sterile environment and sterile field, hassle-free and without interruption.
Listen to Blood Flow Clearly With VascuChek’s Sterile Doppler Probes
With VascuChek, you hold the power to perform vascular flow checks in the palm of your hand. No more bulky, unreliable equipment outside of the sterile field. Listen to patient blood flow clearly with VascuChek’s innovative surgical Doppler technology.
Disposable Doppler Probes for Surgical Use
VascuChek’s sterile Doppler probes are single-use sensors manufactured for sterile field usage. Each detachable, disposable Doppler probe includes a sheath covering the transceiver.
You can purchase VascuChek disposable Doppler probes for surgical procedures in bulk, in boxes of 10 or cases of 40.
Deployment of the Surgical Probe Sheath
In the OR, the surgical probe is held inside the sterile field by the physician; the circulating nurse clicks the transceiver into the probe. The surgeon then deploys the sheath with a simple pull of the tab. Once sealed, the unit is ready to be used inside the sterile field. Two integrated speakers in the handheld transceiver can be used to audibly monitor blood flow even when the surgical sterile sheath is in use.
VascuChek’s Surgical Doppler System and Flow Determination
Using ultrasound gel, place the disposable Doppler probe’s tip directly on the vessel or test site. Once you’ve maneuvered the probe to the correct location, adjust the angle between the Doppler probe and the vessel until the maximum audible signal is obtained (about 45 degrees).
Once blood flow is detected, the resultant audible pitch signal corresponds to blood velocity, with higher pitches indicating higher velocities. The clinician can easily adjust the volume using the corresponding buttons on the transceiver, without assistance from a nurse. If a louder sound is required, the clinician can cast the sound to the speaker dock (kept outside of the sterile field) by pressing the Bluetooth® button on the transceiver.
Activation of the Bluetooth® Connection
Before the procedure, the transceiver is placed into the speaker dock to activate the Bluetooth® connection. During surgical procedures, the VascuChek speaker dock should be placed on a suitable stand, cart or table outside the sterile field.
