“Are you down with that?” Translation for those of us at middle age and beyond: “Does that sound like a good idea?” It’s really a matter of perspective though. I was down with that last week, but “it” was influenza. Zero stars. Not recommended.

On the other hand, Medical University of South Carolina was recently down with something far better when they completed acquisition of a set of Transonic sensors for DLP monitoring.

If you’re not familiar, DLP (distal limb perfusion) is one of the larger challenges facing ECMO specialists around the world. Femoral cannulation necessarily requires a large cannula. That large cannula physically blocks much of the blood flow to downstream tissues.

There’s been no good way to directly monitor that ischemic issue… until now.

Our sensors clip directly onto the outside of the tubing, returning accurate, real-time volume flow measurements without breaking the circuit. Nothing saves patients like forewarning. And nothing forewarns low flows as quickly and precisely as Transonic sensors.

This application of our technology is brand new, but it’s already saved an ECMO patient from losing a leg.

I haven’t personally spoken to him, but I’ll bet he’s totally down with that.

Contact us for more information on our newest application: Distal Limb Perfusion for ECMO. It’s so valuable, yet so easy, that it can be explained in a single, short blog.

Shouldn’t all medical technology be so plainly useful?
