How to use the Microvascular Doppler with Intraoperative in the Neurosurgery
                     How to use the 
Microvascular Doppler with 
Intraoperative 
in the Neurosurgery?
Microvascular Doppler
• The Microvascular Doppler has become a necessary 
intraoperative tool for the neurosurgeon. 
• With the real-time evaluation of vessels, surgeons 
can perform a safer and more cost-effective 
microvascular procedure, lessening the need for 
intraoperative angiograms.
• The purpose of the microvascular doppler is to 
interrogate the microvascular vessels and 
therefore, ideal for use in neurosurgical procedures
How Does ItWork?
• Using a miniature probe tip and a high operating 
frequency, the system sends out a tightly focused 
signal. 
• This signal imparts a level of precision needed by 
the neurosurgeon to continue with the surgical 
procedures. 
• The probes are sterilisable using ETO / Sterrad 
methods  and also have certain usage guidelines, 
ensuring patient safety and removing the 
chances of probe failure due to reprocessing.
Used Of Microvascular 
Doppler
The surgical specialties in which the 
Microvascular Doppler is commonly used 
include 
• Neurosurgery
• Urological Surgery
• Cardiovascular 
Kody Medical
• Kody Medical provides a variety of 
surgical and vascular dopplers suitable 
for use in different medical procedures. 
Our Dopplers assess the blood flow in 
any arteries or veins. 
• Vascular flow studies, also referred to as 
blood flow studies can identify the 
abnormal flow within a blood vessel or 
artery.
Microvascular 
Doppler- Applications:
• It can be used in Marking Scalp Arteries to 
Sense Flaps
• It can be used to mark the Superficial 
temporal artery for biopsy (grand cell 
arteries).
• It can be used to test blood flow in grafts 
post anastomosis in Cerebral Bypass 
Surgery.
• It can be used to assess distal flow after 
aneurysm clipping including small vessels 
like Hebrews artery.
Microvascular 
Doppler- Applications:
• It can be used to find Vascular 
Malformation (AVM) in Brain and Spine 
Surgery.
• It can be used to locate the Vertebral 
Artery in CV Junction Surgery.
• It can be used to test blood flow in 
Carotid Endarterectomy procedure
Microvascular Doppler- 
Suitable For Application 
• The device is suitable for application in 
neurovascular surgery, transplant 
surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, venous 
compression studies, vascular surgery, 
and non-invasive vascular doppler 
testing.
