78TransducersLaser Doppler Flow ProbesThe following probes interface to the LDF100C laser Doppler flow module.Interface: LDF100C—see page 60Surface ProbesThe TSD140 series surface probes are designed for skin and exposed tissue blood flowmonitoring. All surface probes are made from black Delrin ® . The signal delivery fiberintersects the probe body at a right angle, making the probes easy to secure to the skinor tissue surface. Surface probes are non-suturable, unless otherwise indicated. Allsurface probes are MRI compatible (no metal parts) and come with a 2-meter cable forconnection to the LDF100C module.TSD140-This robust and easy to handle probe is ideal for takingmeasurements of cutaneous blood flow anywhere on the skin surface.Probe Body Dimensions: 8mm (high), 17mm (dia)TSD140 SeriesTSD146TSD143TSD140TSD141TSD142TSD141-This thin and lightweight surface probe applies negligiblepressure to the underlying tissue. The probe’s low profile geometry hasparticular applications in chronic wound healing studies where it canbe applied under compression bandages.Probe Body Dimensions: 6mm (high), 17mm (dia)TSD142-This probe was specially developed for measuringmicro-vascular skin blood flow in the digits; the curved geometry ofthese probes makes them ideal for studying conditions such asRaynaud’s disease.Probe Body Dimensions: 10mm (high), 17mm (dia)TSD143-This suturable probe is particularly suitable for small animalwork including various post-operative monitoring applications suchas reconstructive surgery. A non-suturable version, TSD146, is alsoavailable.Probe Body Dimensions: 5mm (high), 10mm (dia)TSD146-This miniature, lightweight surface probe is particularlyuseful for small animal work and general tissue surface monitoring.Probe Body Dimensions: 5mm (high), 5mm (dia)Needle ProbesThe TSD140 series needle probes are designed for invasive and endoscopic blood flow monitoring of tissue. The signal delivery fiberterminates straight into the top of the needle, making the probes easy to insert into tissue. All needle probes are MRI compatible (made frommedical grade stainless steel – no ferrous parts) and come with a 2-meter cable for connection to the LDF100C module.TSD144 & TSD145TSD144TSD144-This needle probe is used when making microvascular blood flow measurements inrelatively inaccessible areas with limited clearance. Typically, they are positioned using amicromanipulator clamp over soft tissues such as brain and muscle.Needle Probe Dimensions: 25mm (long), 1mm (dia)TSD145TSD145-This micro-needle probe has been developed for direct insertion and isfrequently used for measuring either micro-vessel or micro-vascular blood flow within skin,muscle, tumor and organ tissues. The fine diameters of these probes facilitate blood flowmeasurements from only a small number of capillaries.Needle Probe Dimensions: 25mm (long), 480 µm (dia)
