LAS's flagship technology is a non-invasive, laser-based medical device that measures blood flow in the hands and toes. The firm's first product, the FlowMet, is a clip-on device similar to a pulse oximeter thatÂ’s capable of gauging peripheral blood flow continuously and in real time. Future development will include home-based blood flow monitors for postoperative use.Indicated as the first clinical monitor for absolute measurements of peripheral blood flow, Laser Associated Sciences' device addresses unmet needs in vascular medicine and critical care, where information on peripheral blood circulation can give indications of arterial blockages or early warning signs of shock.
