The T-Stat VLS Tissue Oximeter provides a continuous, non-invasive and localized measurement, sensitive to regional and global ischemia. T-Stat reports a capillary-weighted oxygen saturation which is closely related to a local venous saturation measure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f639e3462a9d8667bbca1a1/14beeaa9-6c27-41bc-8d15-0754194360d2/image.jpg T-Stat Large Surface Sensor, 2.5cm The surface sensor is used most commonly to monitor free tissue flaps. It is easy to place and quick to monitor the surface of tissue. Using VLS the T-Stat sensors measure in the capillary bed for a near absolute Sto2%. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f639e3462a9d8667bbca1a1/ba9713e2-df5c-455e-9e54-fed09954063f/image+%281%29.jpg T-Stat Small Surface Sensor, 1cm The 1cm surface sensor is for a similar surface application and is ideal when a smaller skin paddle is available. The 1cm sensor size is also a good option when used during more complex head and neck flaps. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f639e3462a9d8667bbca1a1/2c5207bb-bd9f-48dc-8ba8-7d1f205a579e/image+%283%29.jpg T-Stat Endoscopic Sensor, 1.5mm The endoscopic sensor (1.5mm, 2M in length) is designed to be used in the channel of an endoscope for assessing local perfusion. With the additional information provided by T-Stat during endoscopy, real-time treatments and therapies may be incorporated at a time when access is limited. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f639e3462a9d8667bbca1a1/e983bd5f-78ee-4051-8fe6-d57654456c7a/image+%282%29.jpg T-Stat - Oral Sensor The oral sensor is designed to fit in the mouth of adults to neonates to monitor the saturation of the buccal mucosa, as a surrogate for GI perfusion. This information prevents excessive blood draws and provides valuable information to manage cardiac output and the arteriovenous oxygen difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f639e3462a9d8667bbca1a1/1604099846492-MX7ZKGEC7MU2Z5D4PDPC/Surgeon_comfortingPatientiStock-1171128972LOresSM.jpg T-Stat - Reconstructive Microsurgery T-Stat is used to monitor tissue perfusion in reconstructive microsurgery cases. The system is non-invasive, causes no harm to the tissue or anastomosis and is easy to place. The sensor is placed on the surface of the tissue, shines light into the flap and returns a signal that reflects the real-time oxygen delivery to the tissue. T-Stat’s success is a result of accuracy and reproducibility. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f639e3462a9d8667bbca1a1/1604344046916-ZPV6UQN2LM1KHHLFX9D3/BlkOlder_surgeoniStock-1172913469SMlores.jpg T-Stat - Endoscopy The endoscopic sensor is used to measure tissue saturation during endoscopic procedures. The small diameter and length of the sensor make integrating T-Stat into your cases easy. The endoscopic sensor is placed through the channel of the endoscope. Within seconds, T-Stat provides localized and continuous Sto2% allowing you to treat in real-time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f639e3462a9d8667bbca1a1/1604099925813-V5G6WF59MVD6B6UBHLZS/operatingRm_iStock-155153177LoResSMcrop.jpg T-Stat - Critical Care (NICU/PICU/ICU/CICU) T-Stat is a great addition to any critical care environment, for adults and children alike, providing valuable information to better manage AV differences via oxygen delivery, while preventing over delivery, and avoiding excessive blood draws.

Early visual signs of ischemic flaps are unreliable and hard to detect. Currently there are a few devices on the market, but none of them are the true answer to what the industry has been looking for. The key components that would satisfy the likes of surgeons and staff while monitoring post-op are: a non-invasive and easy to place sensor that will not harm nor hurt the flap or patient rapid response time with continuous results reliable, reproducible and accurate readings an easy to use monitor that is understandable to both surgeons and nursing staff The T-Stat VLS Tissue Oximeter answers these concerns using VLS (Visible Light Spectroscopy) for a near absolute microvascular and capillary weighted reading within the flap. The surface sensors are both non-invasive and provide stable and consistent readings. T-Stat is easy to operate and has a user-friendly touchscreen interface. The real-time saturation, as well as hemoglobin may be viewed for up to 5 days. https://www.spectros.com/endoscopy daily 0.75 2020-11-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f639e3462a9d8667bbca1a1/1604344164737-ZBANUL33BI6PW4E85RJU/BlkOlder_surgeoniStock-1172913469SMlores.jpg Endoscopy - Clinical Application: Endoscopy Using T-Stat in the Diagnosis of Gastrointestinal Ischemia. Early visual signs of ischemia are unreliable. Non-invasive measures such as Doppler flow, pulsatility, and capillary refill are imperfect predictors of outcome, while invasive tests (such as lactate) respond slowly and may not change significantly in cases of regional ischemia. Venous saturation is well correlated with clinical outcome, … yet until now, Svo2 could not be locally measured at specific end-organs, and thus was not available for assessment during endoscopic procedures. What do tissue saturation readings mean? Normal mucosa has been found to have a capillary hemoglobin oxygen saturation of 60‐80% in the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon and rectum. Significant decreases in capillary oxygen saturation were observed in patients with chronic mesenteric ischemia, with capillary saturations of 20‐40% in severe cases. Capillary oxygen saturation was also found to be significantly lower than normal in ischemic colitis and in advanced gastrointestinal neoplasms. In contrast, capillary oxygen saturation was found to be normal in most cases of chronic radiation proctopathy and peptic ulcer. In cases of low capillary saturations due to mesenteric ischemia, capillary saturation has been shown to normalize following percutaneous stenting of the affected arteries. The T‐Stat 1.5 mm catheter can be used through the instrument channel of most endoscopes – including double‐balloon endoscopes – and has been shown to have a high specificity for the diagnosis of mesenteric ischemia. https://www.spectros.com/clinical-studies daily 0.75 2025-02-27 https://www.spectros.com/critical-care daily 0.75 2020-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f639e3462a9d8667bbca1a1/1604100071289-7DJUJ7QSZ9HDU62GFKN3/operatingRm_iStock-155153177LoResSMcrop.jpg Critical Care - Clinical Application: Critical Care (NICU/PICU/ICU/CICU) Using T-Stat in Critical Care. What should I normally see? For healthy neonates, T-Stat normally reads 61-69% T-Stat normals are very DIFFERENT than pulse oximeter normals. This is because the tissues of healthy patients normally remove enough oxygen from arterial blood to drop T-Stat levels 25-35% below the pulse oximeter. Even a well-perfused child with a cardiac mixing lesion (and a low pulse oximeter reading of 70-85%) will still have a T-Stat reading 25-35% below the pulse oximeter, or a T-Stat reading of about 40-55%. What is abnormal, and what do these readings mean? There are 2 important ways to think about abnormal T-Stat readings at the bedside. First, consider the T-Stat reading. T-Stat readings below 55% are rarely normal, and indicate an increased risk of inadequate oxygen delivery. T-Stat values below 35% in children lead to metabolic acidosis by lactic acid production. If left untreated, T-Stat values below 30% may rapidly lead to ultimate failure. Second, consider the gap between T-Stat and the Pulse Oximeter. The gap between tissue and pulse oximeter readings grows with impaired oxygen delivery. A difference of 38% or more between T-Stat and Pulse Oximeter suggests an impaired delivery of oxygen to tissue. Low T-Stat readings and widened Pulse-Tissue gaps may be caused by: • Decreased systemic blood flow (hypovolemia, shock, heart dysfunction) • Increased left-to-right shunts (intracardiac, open ductus) • Anemia • Increased metabolism (fever, stress, sepsis) • Changes in drips, medications, or ventilator settings that worsen perfusion https://www.spectros.com/privacy-policy daily 0.75 2020-11-07 https://www.spectros.com/terms-of-service daily 0.75 2020-11-07 https://www.spectros.com/home-1 daily 0.75 2020-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f639e3462a9d8667bbca1a1/1603470328541-E2I082CDRVJWYPB15FO7/T-Stat+2.0.jpg Home (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f639e3462a9d8667bbca1a1/1604090177962-YW63A96UV54R2TM5OOY5/femaleDoc_researchStudyiStock-1224749418LOresSM.jpg Home (Copy) - Clinical Studies Please check here for clinical studies on T-Stat and VLS technology in Reconstructive Microsurgery, Endoscopy, and Critical Care. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f639e3462a9d8667bbca1a1/1604344711479-AWG2F1ZF0OLTBU2F03ZD/OnCall_closeupDocPhoneiStock-641867100SMLoRes.jpg Home (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f639e3462a9d8667bbca1a1/1604097266960-2PICQ2CYNSYBO5M8SWCX/femaleSurgeonORiStock-493216417LoResSmFlip.jpg Home (Copy) - About Spectros Spectros Medical Devices Inc. develops and manufactures advanced molecular sensing devices and software which shed light on tissue health and disease related to perfusion and vascular performance.

The T-Stat VLS Tissue Oximeter provides a continuous, non-invasive and localized measurement, sensitive to regional and global ischemia. T-Stat reports a capillary-weighted oxygen saturation which is closely related to a local venous saturation measure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f639e3462a9d8667bbca1a1/1603217830714-1GYV8Q685VA9UX8WJ5Q0/large_sensor.jpg T-Stat (Copy) Large Surface Sensor, 2.5cm The surface sensor is used most commonly to monitor free tissue flaps. It is easy to place and quick to monitor the surface of tissue. Using VLS the T-Stat sensors measure in the capillary bed for a near absolute Sto2%. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f639e3462a9d8667bbca1a1/1603217881010-EASI1FGK0GP04BBFXAXV/temp_sensor.jpg T-Stat (Copy) Small Surface Sensor, 1cm The 1cm surface sensor is for a similar surface application and is ideal when a smaller skin paddle is available.

T-Stat sensors are FDA approved for up to 30 days. https://www.spectros.com/oncall-1 daily 0.75 2020-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f639e3462a9d8667bbca1a1/1602279525140-VDB2ARB1IC16OEJFV6IQ/OncallScreenShot.png OnCall (Copy) https://www.spectros.com/resources-1 daily 0.75 2024-04-24 https://www.spectros.com/clinical-studies-1 daily 0.75 2020-11-20 https://www.spectros.com/faqs-1 daily 0.75 2020-11-20 https://www.spectros.com/terms-of-service-1 daily 0.75 2020-11-20 https://www.spectros.com/privacy-policy-1 daily 0.75 2020-11-20 https://www.spectros.com/reconstructive-microsurgery-1 daily 0.75 2020-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f639e3462a9d8667bbca1a1/1604099976331-LJ65FADBUC2YZKL04DOX/Surgeon_comfortingPatientiStock-1171128972LOresSM.jpg Reconstructive Microsurgery (Copy) - Clinical Application: Reconstructive Microsurgery Using T-Stat in Reconstructive Microsurgery One of the greatest needs in plastic surgery is a successful and reliable way to monitor skin flap perfusion after microsvascular, reconstructive procedures. Early visual signs of ischemic flaps are unreliable and hard to detect. Currently there are a few devices on the market, but none of them are the true answer to what the industry has been looking for. The key components that would satisfy the likes of surgeons and staff while monitoring post-op are: a non-invasive and easy to place sensor that will not harm nor hurt the flap or patient rapid response time with continuous results reliable, reproducible and accurate readings an easy to use monitor that is understandable to both surgeons and nursing staff The T-Stat VLS Tissue Oximeter answers these concerns using VLS (Visible Light Spectroscopy) for a near absolute microvascular and capillary weighted reading within the flap. The surface sensors are both non-invasive and provide stable and consistent readings. T-Stat is easy to operate and has a user-friendly touchscreen interface. The real-time saturation, as well as hemoglobin may be viewed for up to 5 days. https://www.spectros.com/endoscopy-1 daily 0.75 2020-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f639e3462a9d8667bbca1a1/1604344164737-ZBANUL33BI6PW4E85RJU/BlkOlder_surgeoniStock-1172913469SMlores.jpg Endoscopy (Copy) - Clinical Application: Endoscopy Using T-Stat in the Diagnosis of Gastrointestinal Ischemia. Early visual signs of ischemia are unreliable. Non-invasive measures such as Doppler flow, pulsatility, and capillary refill are imperfect predictors of outcome, while invasive tests (such as lactate) respond slowly and may not change significantly in cases of regional ischemia. Venous saturation is well correlated with clinical outcome, … yet until now, Svo2 could not be locally measured at specific end-organs, and thus was not available for assessment during endoscopic procedures. What do tissue saturation readings mean? Normal mucosa has been found to have a capillary hemoglobin oxygen saturation of 60‐80% in the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon and rectum. Significant decreases in capillary oxygen saturation were observed in patients with chronic mesenteric ischemia, with capillary saturations of 20‐40% in severe cases. Capillary oxygen saturation was also found to be significantly lower than normal in ischemic colitis and in advanced gastrointestinal neoplasms. In contrast, capillary oxygen saturation was found to be normal in most cases of chronic radiation proctopathy and peptic ulcer. In cases of low capillary saturations due to mesenteric ischemia, capillary saturation has been shown to normalize following percutaneous stenting of the affected arteries. The T‐Stat 1.5 mm catheter can be used through the instrument channel of most endoscopes – including double‐balloon endoscopes – and has been shown to have a high specificity for the diagnosis of mesenteric ischemia. https://www.spectros.com/critical-care-1 daily 0.75 2020-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f639e3462a9d8667bbca1a1/1604100071289-7DJUJ7QSZ9HDU62GFKN3/operatingRm_iStock-155153177LoResSMcrop.jpg Critical Care (Copy) - Clinical Application: Critical Care (NICU/PICU/ICU/CICU) Using T-Stat in Critical Care. What should I normally see? For healthy neonates, T-Stat normally reads 61-69% T-Stat normals are very DIFFERENT than pulse oximeter normals. This is because the tissues of healthy patients normally remove enough oxygen from arterial blood to drop T-Stat levels 25-35% below the pulse oximeter. Even a well-perfused child with a cardiac mixing lesion (and a low pulse oximeter reading of 70-85%) will still have a T-Stat reading 25-35% below the pulse oximeter, or a T-Stat reading of about 40-55%. What is abnormal, and what do these readings mean? There are 2 important ways to think about abnormal T-Stat readings at the bedside. First, consider the T-Stat reading. T-Stat readings below 55% are rarely normal, and indicate an increased risk of inadequate oxygen delivery. T-Stat values below 35% in children lead to metabolic acidosis by lactic acid production. If left untreated, T-Stat values below 30% may rapidly lead to ultimate failure. Second, consider the gap between T-Stat and the Pulse Oximeter. The gap between tissue and pulse oximeter readings grows with impaired oxygen delivery. A difference of 38% or more between T-Stat and Pulse Oximeter suggests an impaired delivery of oxygen to tissue. Low T-Stat readings and widened Pulse-Tissue gaps may be caused by: • Decreased systemic blood flow (hypovolemia, shock, heart dysfunction) • Increased left-to-right shunts (intracardiac, open ductus) • Anemia • Increased metabolism (fever, stress, sepsis) • Changes in drips, medications, or ventilator settings that worsen perfusion https://www.spectros.com/article daily 0.75 2022-08-11 https://www.spectros.com/supportingsurgeons daily 0.75 2024-07-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f639e3462a9d8667bbca1a1/770a3b2f-699f-486e-b08e-493d4d378783/Minas+Chrysopoulo.v2.cropped.jpg Supporting Surgeons https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f639e3462a9d8667bbca1a1/0525a6de-21ad-49b1-91a5-4152ba723b66/09.jpg Supporting Surgeons https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f639e3462a9d8667bbca1a1/5e15a98e-8d46-4cf2-b42f-8f2020775cd5/01.jpg Supporting Surgeons https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f639e3462a9d8667bbca1a1/bfee9861-d39c-47ec-9e91-96ea4fac6426/504100.png Supporting Surgeons https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f639e3462a9d8667bbca1a1/6b06b292-20be-43a2-8334-a1ca089526ed/02.jpg Supporting Surgeons https://www.spectros.com/patientresources daily 0.75 2025-02-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f639e3462a9d8667bbca1a1/64992c52-298b-4d8f-b2e3-cf45ce0df28e/Screenshot+2024-07-30+at+12.33.19+PM.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f639e3462a9d8667bbca1a1/2e3a820f-fd11-45f3-8336-72162c56041f/Screenshot+2024-07-30+at+12.34.00+PM.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f639e3462a9d8667bbca1a1/ca626d63-0c34-4f62-9ffc-a6dcb22848aa/Screenshot+2024-07-30+at+12.36.42+PM.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f639e3462a9d8667bbca1a1/f31b77f7-382d-4752-b1d3-f33f07c0fad6/laun+Woods.PNG https://www.spectros.com/patienteducation daily 0.75 2024-08-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f639e3462a9d8667bbca1a1/cd72ad79-d0ad-4065-8d86-c67a90c5e34c/Untitled+design+%2824%29.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f639e3462a9d8667bbca1a1/0faf191b-97c9-4001-883d-b9ed7c407613/fb-image-tag.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f639e3462a9d8667bbca1a1/81ccfc0d-532d-4e4d-8715-25a51a8346e1/01MBM84mS6ypcr3AxspA_I-BREAST-BOOK-DR-YAZAN-MASANNAT-NEVERSTOPLEARNING-TV-HDR.jpg https://www.spectros.com/reviews daily 0.75 2025-03-06 https://www.spectros.com/videos daily 0.75 2022-02-08 https://www.spectros.com/videos/v/new-video monthly 0.5 2025-04-02
