Bleeding related complications cost time, money and patient lives

Bleeding is a frequent consequence of surgery that can lead to substantial morbidity and mortality

• • Blood vessels are fragile and often hidden in other tissue

  • Up to 50% of surgery time is spent lozalizing blood vessels to avoid tearing

  • Bleeding related complications occur in 1 out of 3 surgeries^1,2

  • Prolongs hospitalization and increases hospitalization cost^1,2

  • Serious bleeding related complications increases mortality with 20%

Perfusion Tech’s artificial intelligence technology can lower risk of bleeding related complications

Tissue perfusion is quantified and blood vessels visualized from existing surgical images

• • Stand-alone software applies advanced image analysis to existing surgical video feeds

  • Injection of small doses of fluorescent dye (ICG) creates signal changes invisible to the surgeon, but detectable by Perfusion Tech’s AI software

  • Blood vessels and perfusion areas are shown on the surgeon’s normal white light images

  • Superior data tracking algorithm eliminates tissue movements during measurements

PerfusionWorks can be used within a range of surgical specialities
