Laser Doppler blood flowmeter (A mobile, mains electricity (AC-powered) device designed to use laser Doppler techniques to measure the velocity of micro- and macrovascular blood circulation to assess the extent of vascular flow restrictions [e.g., clots, stenosis, mechanical damage, and peripheral vascular disease (PVD)]. It typically measures blood flow/perfusion, transcutaneous oxygen (TCOM) and/or carbon dioxide, and may have modules for heat provocation and pressure control. It typically consists of various laser Doppler probes, temperature measurement sensors, and pressure measuring cuff/sensors connected to a software-controlled control/visual display unit.)
