One of the frequent causes of non-traumatic lower-limb amputation is Diabetes and is usually preceded by foot ulcer and infection. The reason of this ulceration is commonly a loss of protective sensation due to peripheral neuropathy, for which there is no prevention strategy. Current research promotes early detection of neuropathy so that secondary prevention measures, such as intensive foot-care education and treatment, can be used for individuals. In an effort to standardize and simplify the detection of insensate foot, the 5.07/10-gm Monofilament is recommended by the International Diabetes Federation and the World Health Organization as a device that can be used by health professionals at every level of care. A standardised filament is pressed against part of the foot. When the filament bends, its tip is exerting a pressure of 10 grams (therefore this monofilament is often referred to as the 10 gram monofilament). If the patient cannot feel the monofilament at certain specified sites on the foot, he/she has lost enough sensation to be at risk of developing a neuropathic ulcer.

The handheld Unidirectional ultrasound vascular Doppler is an instrument that detects blood flow using the principles of the Doppler effect. It can be a very useful tool in assessing how good the blood flow is to the foot or hand. It is a painless test and very similar to taking blood pressure using a stethoscope. It is particularly useful for the assessment of arterial disease but can also be used for venous problems. These vascular Doppler are used for identifying the arterial and venous flow patency. Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) is a simple procedure to detect obstruction in the blood flow. The LifeDop 150R features a non-display, handheld Doppler with superior sound quality, extended battery life, enhanced probe sensitivity, interchangeable probes, and a one-year full warranty. It includes a battery recharging system, so you don’t have to worry about overcharging or draining of the batteries. Features: • Interchangeable Doppler Probes • Unidirectional Doppler • 8MHz Vascular Probe is Standard • Continuous Wave Doppler • 4, 5 and 8 MHz Vascular probes • Rechargeable battery operation • Charger supplied free
