Blood Flow Monitors 

 

 
 'OxyFlo2000' / 'OxyFlo4000'
 2 or 4 channel laser Doppler tissue blood perfusion monitor

 
 'OxyLab LDF'
 Single channel laser Doppler tissue blood perfusion monitor

 OxyFlo and OxyLab LDF

Latest Generation

 

 
Highly featured laser Doppler systems for continuous monitoring of microvascular blood perfusion from 1 to 4 tissue sites simultaneously. The latest generation systems incorporate new developments in Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and laser Doppler flowmetry providing a technologically advanced, yet simple to use for multi-channel monitoring, setting new standards for reliability and robustness.
 

Key Features

 

 
Simple to Use
No user-input or configuration - simply connect a probe and the system is ready for use.
 

 

'Smart' Probes
Once calibrated, 'smart' probe technology automatically recalls the calibration coefficients for a probe during subsequent use.
  

 

Ultra-fast Response Time
Real-time monitoring of physiological blood perfusion. Capable of resolving perfusion changes occurring over fractions of a second.
  

 

Multi-parameter Monitoring
Uniquely, the combination of our blood flow monitors and our tissue oxygen monitors permits the measurement of pO2, blood perfusion and temperature from the same tissue site using a single combined probe (*OxyFlo and OxyLab LDF models only).

Flexible
Extensive range of fibre optic probes for microvascular blood flow monitoring from virtually any tissue site and type.
