Microvascular Flow Measurement Solutions To Support Care at Your Institution

In microvascular surgery, small changes in flow have a significant impact on the procedure. Quantitative, intraoperative flow measurement provides insight to support the surgeon’s assessment of patency and perfusion during reconstructions, replantations, and more. 

This means surgeons can identify and correct unseen flow obstructions before completing the procedure, which supports more consistent postoperative outcomes and reduces the need for additional intervention.

Why Quantitative Flow Measurement?

Visual assessment and clinical impression don't always reveal the full extent of what’s happening inside the smallest vessels. That's why transit-time flow measurement is such a powerful complement to surgical judgment: it provides immediate, objective data to help surgeons confirm anastomotic success or identify flow limitations while corrective action is still possible.

Quantitative flow measurement helps surgeons:

  • Confirm anastomotic patency
  • Detect unseen flow obstructions intraoperatively
  • Assess flow during reconstruction, replantation, or flap procedures

“Accurate flow measurements can be of great assistance during vascular reconstructive surgery. The primary aim with these intraoperative measurements is to obtain information on the immediate result of the reconstruction, where a technical failure may jeopardize an otherwise successful operation.’’

Flow Measurement Solutions for Microvascular Surgery

Transonic flowmeters and microvascular flowprobes can be used on vessels as small as 0.5 mm. As the smallest clinical flowprobes available, the MU-Series Microvascular Flowprobes are designed for delicate applications to support objective assessment of anastomotic patency without constricting or altering flow in the smallest of vessels.

By directly measuring volume flow in small vessels, Transonic technology provides an objective assessment of anastomotic quality that goes beyond visual inspection alone.
