Minimally Invasive Monitoring for Brain & Spinal Cord Ischemia

Fiber optic, light-based, flow & oxygenation platform technology for the protection of spinal cord and brain.

Brain and Spinal Cord Monitoring

The prevention and recovery from brain and spinal cord injury is focused upon the maintenance or restoration of blood flow.

The Problem

Current technologies for the monitoring of spinal cord and brain either do not measure blood flow & oxygen delivery directly or do it poorly and are unreliable.

Our Solution

The FLOX (Flow & Oxygenation) platform employs flexible fiber optic probes, placed via minimally invasive approaches, in direct contact with the brain and spinal cord, providing early warning of injury and guiding recovery if needed.

How it Works

Application-specific probes are placed via percutaneous or surgical approaches, within the epidural (spinal cord) or subdural space (brain).

The probes and monitor provide real-time feedback on brain blood flow and oxygenation, guiding vascular & neurosurgeons intraoperatively and intensivists in optimizing postoperative treatment.
