SensiLase Studycast System: A Platform for Critical Limb Diagnostics and Electronic Referral Program

Serena, T. (sole author)

Advances in Wound Care (submitted April 2011)

In brief

This technology report describes the SensiLase Studycast System, which combines two noninvasive vascular tests, skin perfusion pressure and pulse volume recording, with web-based software for sharing results between primary care physicians and limb preservation centers. The author argues that ankle brachial index alone has limited value in patients with foot ulcers and that pairing tissue perfusion testing with electronic referral could support timely recognition and referral of peripheral arterial disease and critical limb ischemia. The report summarizes published studies of skin perfusion pressure and advises that system results be used together with other diagnostic information.
