In hospitals and clinical practices, accurate assessment of peripheral circulation is central to both vascular and diabetic care. It is a common but often under diagnosed condition, reducing blood supply to the lower limbs and increasing the risk of pain, delayed healing, and tissue loss. Early detection and regular monitoring are therefore essential to prevent complications such as ulcers or amputation.
The Huntleigh Ankle & Toe Pressure (ATP) Dopplex Kit supports this by enabling clinicians to carry out quick, non-invasive assessments of blood flow in the feet and toes-- areas most vulnerable to circulatory compromise. It provides reliable data to inform diagnosis, risk assessment, and ongoing patient care.
What is the Huntleigh ATP Dopplex Kit?
The Huntleigh ATP Dopplex Kit is a specialised vascular diagnostic system designed to support clinicians in assessing peripheral arterial disease, diabetic foot complications, and neuropathy. It is widely regarded as a leading ankle and toe pressure measurement system for healthcare professionals, and this all-in-one kit delivers accurate, repeatable results in both clinical and community settings.
This comprehensive diagnostic device combines a digital Doppler system, pressure measurement tools, and vascular assessment accessories. It enables clinicians to measure arterial systolic pressure, evaluate toe brachial index (TBI), and assess blood flow in patients with incompressible arteries. This makes it particularly valuable in diabetic foot assessment, where traditional ankle-brachial index (ABI) readings may be unreliable.
Key Features of the Huntleigh ATP Dopplex Kit
1. Accurate Ankle and Toe Pressure Measurement
The ATP kit enables rapid and precise measurement of arterial systolic pressure, even in patients with calcified or non-compressible arteries.
2. Integrated Digital Doppler Technology
At its core is the DMX Digital Doppler, which provides real-time waveform display and pressure readings for enhanced diagnostic confidence.
3. Arterial Plethysmography (PPG/APPG) Probe
The included PPG probe easily attaches to the Doppler unit, allowing clinicians to assess microvascular blood flow and toe pressures efficiently.
4. Internal Memory and Data Storage
The system can store PPG waveforms and pressure readings, enabling clinicians to review results or transfer data to reporting software.
5. Portable and User-Friendly Design
With a lightweight build and carry case, the ATP kit is ideal for clinics, hospitals, and community healthcare environments.
Clinical Applications of the ATP Dopplex Kit
-
Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) Diagnosis- The kit can help detect reduced blood flow in lower limbs, a key indicator of PAD.
-
Diabetic Foot Assessment- The kit helps in evaluating vascular complications in diabetic patients, where early detection can prevent ulcers and amputations.
-
Toe Brachial Index (TBI) Measurement- Provides reliable TBI readings, especially when Ankle-Brachial Index results are unreliable, due to arterial calcification.
-
Neuropathy Screening- The included neuropen supports sensory testing which complements vascular assessments.
