Late diagnosis can lead to higher morbidity/mortality rates
- PAD can lead to heart attack, stroke, and amputation.
- Late-stage interventions including endovascular procedures, surgical bypass, and amputation can be invasive and costly.
- 3-year mortality rate following PAD-related amputation is 71%.
SageSpectra Handheld
SageSpectra is a low-cost, portable device that accurately measures tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) across any patient at risk of PAD in <3 minutes.
Tissue oxygen saturation, a key indicator of tissue health, has been shown to accurately assess the presence and severity of PAD.
- Low-cost
- Handheld
- Accurate (even for patients with calcified vessels)
- Performed by nurse or medical assistant
- Screen <3 minutes
