PLASTIC AND RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY
Discover FLUOBEAM® LMMETHODOLOGICAL APPROACH AND OPERATING STRATEGY WITH FLUOBEAM® LM?
It is often difficult to accurately assess the quality of tissue perfusion during reconstruction surgery. However, this assessment is critical to avoid partial necrosis, especially in plastic and reconstructive surgery. The use of ICG (indocyanine green) fluorescence angiography provides a reliable verification of tissue perfusion and identifies areas at risk of necrosis.
Fluobeam® LM in action
Breast reconstruction
FLUOBEAM®LM allows the surgeon to evaluate in real time the quality of tissue perfusion (flaps or skin after mastectomy with preservation of the skin cover) and to adapt the surgical procedure to minimize the risks of complications.
During a reconstruction procedure, with the use of an autologous flap (free or pedicled), it is essential to ensure good tissue perfusion in order to avoid postoperative complications, such as partial or fatty necrosis.

Maxillofacial reconstruction
During the reconstruction procedure, fluorescence imaging allows to check in real time the perfusion of the flaps In order to adapt the procedure and prevent potential postoperative complications, such as partial and/or total necrosis. FLUOBEAM® LM ensures that the tissue is well perfused.
In this indication, fluorescence imaging is also used postoperatively to check the perfusion of the flaps and anticipate possible complications such as venous thrombosis.

TESTIMONIALS
"When you see something with fluorescence imaging, the ICG doesn't lie. So we see the optimal size of the flap and how we're going to be able to preserve it safely."
Dr Assaf ZELTZER
"There is a real interest in anticipating the occurrence of an accident, the main risk being that a vein or artery becomes blocked and causes a thrombosis. The sooner we intervene on a thrombosis, the more chance we have of saving the flap."
Dr Georges BETTEGA
