What is Capillaroscopy ?
an intravitam method of study involving the examination, under magnification, of capillaries of the epithelial or endothelial integuments of animals and man (skin, mucous membranes).In man, the capillaries are examined in the skin fold of the nail bed, where they can be viewed most conveniently. A microscope or a special instrument, the capillaroscope, is used for this purpose. The use of the microscope (20–100 power magnification) after the application of a drop of clarifying oil to the skin and good oblique illumination provide good visibility. Changes are observed in the capillaries with disturbances of the peripheral blood circulation of a variety of etiologies (in vascular neuroses, the early stages of cardiac insufficiency, end arteritis obliterans). The changes observed during capillaroscopy are not strictly specific to a given pathological condition; they arise as an adaptive mechanism to any disturbance of the general blood flow. There-fore, capillaroscopy is used only as a supplementary diagnostic method in general clinical examinations.
What is Portable Video Nail-fold Capillaroscope?
Portable color Capillaroscope is an advanced medical photoelectric apparatus, equipped with a special LED light source, used mainly on human nailfold capillary microcirculation of microscopic examination of dynamic perspective, USB Video Capture cards with the real-time dynamic clear indication of the microcirculation vascular morphology, flow pattern, loop weeks images, which can be right microcirculation image capture, video, surveying microvessel diameter, pipe length, velocity and other indicators and may microcirculation indicators for expert analysis and medical points, beautifully printed copies of the report alone. The apparatus is widely used for a variety of clinical diseases (such as cardiovascular, hypertension, stroke, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.) microcirculation change occurred in the early diagnosis, prediction, the effect of judgment and prognosis of other aspects. Operation is simple, rapid, and noninvasive, without any side effects.
