Peripheral Artery Disease
Explore PAD with VICORDER®
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a common circulatory condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It occurs when arteries in the legs become narrowed or blocked. This can restrict blood flow, causing pain, cramping, and even tissue death in severe cases.

Clinical Application
ABI
The Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) is a vital measurement for assessing leg circulation, aiding in early detection of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and monitoring treatment progress. VICORDER®, a compact device, allows quick and precise measurement of ABI. Offering convenient use in your practice or even at a patient's home, VICORDER® empowers you to monitor your patients' circulation effectively. Its user-friendly design ensures a comfortable experience, while delivering reliable and consistent results within minutes, streamlining your workflow. VICORDER® provides a comprehensive picture of leg circulation through ABI measurement, ultimately improving patient outcomes through early detection and treatment of PAD. The ABI may be measured utilizing Doppler ultrasound, photoplethysmography (PPG), or oscillometry (automated), ensuring versatile and accurate assessment of vascular health.

TBI
The Toe-Brachial Index (TBI) is a diagnostic test used to evaluate blood flow in the lower extremities, specifically the toes. It is particularly useful for diagnosing peripheral artery disease (PAD), a condition where narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the limbs. The TBI is similar to the Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) but is preferred in certain populations, such as individuals with diabetes or advanced age, where ABI measurements might be unreliable due to arterial calcification. By providing a more accurate measure of blood flow in the lower extremities, TBI aids in the early detection, effective management, and ongoing monitoring of PAD, ultimately improving patient outcomes and quality of life. With VICORDER®, TBI measurements may be acquired utilizing PPG or Doppler ultrasound, providing a reliable and accurate evaluation of vascular health.
Segmental Exams
Segmental exams provide a more detailed picture of blood flow throughout the leg, aiding in the precise location of arterial blockages. VICORDER®, a versatile vascular assessment tool, offers the capability to perform these measurements alongside traditional ABI analysis. This compact device facilitates quick and comfortable segmental pressure testing in your practice or even at a patient's home. VICORDER® empowers you to gain a comprehensive understanding of your patients' circulation, enabling you to diagnose peripheral arterial disease (PAD) more effectively and tailor treatment plans accordingly. Segmental exams may be conducted using doppler ultrasound, photoplethysmography (PPG), or oscillometry (automated).

Waveforms
Waveforms play a vital role in evaluating blood flow in the limbs. Qualitative waveform analysis using doppler ultrasound and pulse volume recording (PVR) assists in diagnosis of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and assesses treatment effectiveness. VICORDER® offers a comprehensive solution for waveform analysis, combining accuracy with the convenience of a portable device. This enables healthcare professionals to conduct detailed vascular assessments both in clinical settings and at a patient's home, ensuring timely and effective diagnosis and management of PAD.
