On a recent visit to the UK, our clinical application specialist, Sara Gyllensporre, was interested to learn that some hospitals in the UK have stopped using certain automated ABI machines listed in NICE HTG677.

The question is why? In this piece, we take a deep dive into what the guidance means in practice: proper tools, used by trained specialists in the appropriate healthcare setting.

While NICE HTG677 challenges the assumption that ABI is straightforward, it’s not a blanket rejection of automated ABI. Rather, it can be read as a caution against deploying systems that oversimplify the measurement and diminish the importance of operator know-how and specialist vascular expertise

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) affects about 20% of the UK population aged 55-75 — more than 2 million people. Two-thirds are asymptomatic. People are unaware they are ill, but this can be prevented in 85% of cases with, for example, early intervention.

Every year in the UK, nearly 7,000 people lose a limb because of diabetic foot complications. For many, amputation marks the beginning of a steep decline — with a five-year mortality rate of 50%, exceeding that of several common cancers.

Our partnership with Healthcare 21 aims to support improved clinical decision-making and patient outcomes — aligned with the priorities of the NHS and broader preventative care initiatives. We look forward to working closely with the team at HC 21 UK.

To ensure long-term availability and continuity of the TcpO2 electrode delivered with PeriFlux 6000 instruments, Perimed is bringing the manufacturing of this sensor in-house.

As a medtech supplier, we know that continuity is vital. Assuming our products deliver accurate measurements, they’re of little use if clinicians cannot obtain new parts when their old ones pass their sell-by date, or when consumables on which the measurements rely cannot be replaced.

That’s why Perimed has decided to bring the manufacture of TcpO2 electrodes in-house, together with the membrane kit needed to keep electrodes clean — augmenting our TcpO2 offering to encompass all elements needed for robust measurements.

Our CEO explains how this step supports clinicians by securing supply, maintaining compatibility with established specifications, and enabling TcpO2 use across different clinical environments, including hyperbaric settings.

Today is a reminder that diabetes is more than a metabolic disease — it’s a vascular one. By uncovering the hidden side of diabetes, microcirculation, it's possible to make a difference between a limb saved and a limb lost.

In this post, we talk about why microcirculation matters and its role in limb preservation for people with diabetes.

On World Diabetes Day, we are reminded that diabetes is more than a metabolic disease characterized by chronic hyperglycemia. It is a significant risk factor for circulatory disorders, and uncovering the hidden microcirculatory component provides clinicians with crucial insight.

Running Windows in a regulated industry like healthcare or finance? 🏥💳

Unsupported software is one of the most common entry points for cyberattacks. That’s why many organizations have already upgraded to Windows 11, are in the process of migrating, or have purchased extended support from Microsoft.

But it’s not just about operating systems. Every application in your stack — including the software that comes with medical devices — needs ongoing updates and patching to stay secure.

At Perimed, we’ve verified that our supported software works with Windows 11 ✅ — helping you to protect patient data and ensure system security.

Running unsupported software exposes your hospital and patients to cyberattacks, WannaCry, which brought the UK's NHS to a standstill, exploited a known vulnerability, which most large organizations simply didn't have the time to patch before the attack occurred.

In oncoplastic reconstructive surgery, nearly 30% of implant procedures result in a complication — many due to poor tissue perfusion. Finding practical solutions isn’t easy, but clinical evidence is emerging.

👨‍⚕️ Dr. Ralser and his team at University Hospital Bonn, Germany, tested laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) with our PeriCam PSI in 73 reconstructions. Their findings suggest surgeons can use LSCI for rapid, real-time perfusion insights — helping to reduce complication rates.

👉 Read Jimmy Bakker’s latest blog post to see the key takeaways, plus a link to the full webinar with Dr. Ralser

Nearly 30% of all breast implant procedures result in a complication. Dr. Damian Ralser has conducted an observational study using LSCI to determine the potential of this technology to reduce complication rates.

Research finding suggests possible new markers for more accurate risk prediction of HFpEF in women with type II diabetes (T2D). In a study, conducted with participants from the Hoorn Diabetes Care System, and carried out by several researchers, including Etto Eringa, found that women with T2D with poor blood vessel response to insulin have a greater risk of developing HFpEF.

Using PeriIont — Perimed’s iontophoresis solution — to administer the insulin, researchers were able to assess microvascular dysfunction by comparing baseline perfusion and response with real-time data and images generated by PeriCam PSI.

If you’re attending IVBM 2024, don’t miss Eringa’s session, where he will talk about their research, or you can read more about it here: https://doi.org/10.1093/eurheartj/ehac544.787

At an IVBM 2024 poster session, Sébastien Foulquier presented his and Ph.D. candidate Sara Lambrichts’ research on cerebral vascular dysfunction in relation to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Using a PeriCam PSI imaging device, they observed notable differences in brain blood flow responses to whisker stimulation between lean and obese rats. PeriCam PSI leverages laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) delivering perfusion data and images in real-time.
