Assessing tissue health status can help eliminate flap failures. Post op monitoring of the flap and surrounding area is essential but also difficult and expensive to access. As such many surgeons rely on clinical judgment alone, which is not fool proof as poorly perfused skin flaps are often not clinically apparent until hours after surgery. Often by the point of clinical awareness the flap has failed and difficult to revive.

MIMOSA Pro as a non-contact device, without the need for dyes or injected media, helps to detect and monitor tissue oxygenation and perfusion in skin flaps earlier. This identifies risk of failure and allows clinicians to intervene more quickly, helping to reduce complications and manage costs.

MIMOSA’s portability allows tissue assessment by “every” surgeon, providing non-invasive monitoring that can be done anywhere – in the PACU or ICU, on the floor, or even in the home.
