How to use the Microvascular Doppler with
Intraoperative in the Neurosurgery?

Microvascular Doppler

• The Microvascular Doppler has become a necessary
  intraoperative tool for the neurosurgeon.
• With the real-time evaluation of vessels,
  surgeons can perform a safer and more
  cost-effective microvascular procedure, lessening
  the need for intraoperative angiograms.
• The purpose of the microvascular doppler is to
  interrogate the microvascular vessels and
  therefore, ideal for use in neurosurgical
  procedures

How Does ItWork?

• Using a miniature probe tip and a high operating
  frequency, the system sends out a tightly focused
  signal.
• This signal imparts a level of precision needed
  by the neurosurgeon to continue with the surgical
  procedures.
• The probes are sterilisable using ETO / Sterrad
  methods  and also have certain usage guidelines,
  ensuring patient safety and removing the chances
  of probe failure due to reprocessing.

Used Of Microvascular Doppler

• The surgical specialties in which the
  Microvascular Doppler is commonly used include
• Neurosurgery
• Urological Surgery
• Cardiovascular

Kody Medical

• Kody Medical provides a variety of surgical and
  vascular dopplers suitable for use in different
  medical procedures. Our Dopplers assess the blood
  flow in any arteries or veins.
• Vascular flow studies, also referred to as blood
  flow studies can identify the abnormal flow
  within a blood vessel or artery.

Microvascular Doppler- Applications

• It can be used in Marking Scalp Arteries to Sense
  Flaps
• It can be used to mark the Superficial temporal
  artery for biopsy (grand cell arteries).
• It can be used to test blood flow in grafts post
  anastomosis in Cerebral Bypass Surgery.
• It can be used to assess distal flow after
  aneurysm clipping including small vessels like
  Hebrews artery.

7
Microvascular Doppler- Applications

• It can be used to find Vascular Malformation
  (AVM) in Brain and Spine Surgery.
• It can be used to locate the Vertebral Artery in
  CV Junction Surgery.
• It can be used to test blood flow in Carotid
  Endarterectomy procedure

8
Microvascular Doppler- Suitable For Application

• The device is suitable for application in
  neurovascular surgery, transplant surgery,
  cardiothoracic surgery, venous compression
  studies, vascular surgery, and non-invasive
  vascular doppler testing.
