Model
D.
The body is made of clear silastic tubing and is slit lengthwise so
that it can be slipped around a blood vessel. The length can be adjusted
by trimming down to the dimension required but not less than 3 mm to maintain
stability. The piezoelectric crystal is approximately 1 mm diameter and
mounted at a 45-degree angle. The crystal is encased in medical grade epoxy
with an epoxy lens. This transducer can be used to determine the effectiveness
of vascular occlusions or record a reactive hyperemic curve. It can be
used for chronic implants in dogs, monkeys, cats, rats, etc. when sutured
in place (see application guide). |
