MedTech Edge supplies vascular diagnostic equipment for non-invasive physiological assessment of arterial and venous function. Our solutions support healthcare professionals performing routine vascular examinations, lower- and upper-limb assessments, venous testing and specialised diagnostic procedures.
Available testing capabilities include Doppler measurements, ankle-brachial index (ABI), toe-brachial index (TBI), pulse volume recording (PVR), photoplethysmography (PPG), air plethysmography (APG) and segmental blood pressure measurement.
Explore the examination categories below or contact MedTech Edge to discuss the vascular testing equipment appropriate for your clinical application.
Vascular diagnostic testing uses physiological measurements to assess blood flow and vascular function. Non-invasive vascular examinations can help clinicians investigate suspected arterial obstruction, peripheral arterial disease, venous insufficiency and other circulatory conditions.
The appropriate examination depends on the patient, symptoms, vessels being assessed and clinical objective. Different procedures may measure blood pressure, blood flow waveforms, changes in limb volume, or local blood perfusion.
Our vascular solutions support several widely used physiological testing methods:
Doppler measurements assess blood-flow waveforms in peripheral arteries.
Pulse volume recording measures changes in limb volume during the cardiac cycle.
Photoplethysmography uses optical sensors to detect changes in local blood perfusion.
Air plethysmography measures blood-volume changes and may be used in venous assessment.
Segmental blood pressures compare systolic pressure at multiple points along a limb.
Visit Common Examinations for more information about each method and the equipment used to perform it.
Lower-limb vascular assessment may include ABI, TBI, PPG, exercise stress testing and reactive hyperaemia examinations.
An ABI test compares systolic blood pressure at the ankle with pressure measured in the arms. TBI testing compares toe and brachial pressures and may provide an alternative or complementary assessment when ankle measurements are unreliable. Exercise and other stress protocols can be used to compare physiological measurements before and after an induced stress condition.
Explore Lower Limbs for detailed information about supported tests and measurement methods.
Upper-limb examinations assess circulation in the arms, hands and fingers. Depending on the clinical question, testing may involve pressure measurements, Doppler waveforms or PPG sensors.
Applications can include assessments for thoracic outlet syndrome, palmar arch function, Raynaud’s phenomenon and other conditions affecting upper-extremity circulation.
Visit Upper Limbs to review the available examination types.
Venous examinations evaluate venous function and blood return. Depending on the required assessment, clinicians may use PPG, APG or other physiological measurement methods to examine venous reflux, obstruction and calf muscle pump function.
Visit Venous Tests to learn more about the available testing applications.
Some patients and clinical environments require testing beyond routine arterial or venous examinations. Specialty vascular applications may incorporate temperature assessment, stress protocols, multiple sensors or measurements taken across several sites.
Explore Specialty Examination for information about additional vascular diagnostic procedures.
The right vascular diagnostic system depends on the examinations your facility performs, required measurement channels, preferred sensors, reporting requirements and patient workflow. A system suitable for routine ABI testing may not provide every capability needed for comprehensive arterial, venous or specialty investigations.
Before selecting equipment, consider:
The arterial and venous tests you intend to perform
Whether you require Doppler, PPG, PVR, APG or pressure measurements
Upper-limb, lower-limb and specialty testing requirements
Sensor, probe and pressure-cuff configurations
Reporting and clinical workflow requirements
MedTech Edge can help you evaluate the available options against your intended application.
