MGI MEDICAL

MGI MEDICAL was formed to develop and bring to market the Pulse Flowmeter, a new noninvasive potentially transformative medical device. The Pulse Flowmeter was specifically developed for the early detection of blood loss. It provides the anesthesiologist, intensivist, or cardiologist with ongoing quantitative measurement of blood flow to the vascular beds of a patient's extremities. As is well known by physicians who care for unstable patients, blood pressure provides only limited information about pump function and volume status. Because systemic blood pressure is maintained at the expense of peripheral blood flow, when a patient is losing blood or experiencing pump failure, blood pressure is a lagging indicator. In the extreme case, shock ensues when the blood flow is insufficient to meet metabolic demands. The Pulse Flowmeter looks directly at the peripheral flow and, in combination with blood pressure, provides real-time, continuous measurement of peripheral vascular resistance.....
