Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) happens when the blood vessels narrow outside of your heart. The cause of PAD is atherosclerosis, which happens when plaque builds up on the walls of the arteries that supply blood to the arms and legs. Plaque is a substance made up of fat and cholesterol. It causes the arteries to narrow or become blocked. This can reduce or stop blood flow, usually to the legs. If severe enough, blocked blood flow can cause tissue death and can sometimes lead to amputation of the foot or leg.

TruPAD™ is a medical device that measures Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), a condition in which the large and medium-sized arteries supply blood to the legs and become narrow or clogged with plaque, constricting blood flow. 

Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) reduces blood flow to the feet and legs and can cause pain in the feet and legs which may lead to tissue death (gangrene). People with diabetes and a history of smoking are most at risk of developing peripheral artery disease. Studies say at least 1 in 5 elderly people suffer from hardened arteries reducing blood flow to the limbs. The TruPAD™ is the perfect solution for diagnosing Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) in your office. With minimal training and no need for Doppler or vascular expertise, the TruPAD™ is fast and accurate, producing results and reports in seconds. 

Early diagnosis and treatment of PAD can save lives and improve patient health, and the TruPAD™ is less sensitive to operator error, making it ideal for calcified or incompressible arteries and diabetic patients. Over half of PAD patients are asymptomatic or misdiagnosed in their symptoms, making early detection through testing essential. With the TruPAD™, you can validate your patient's trust in you and potentially receive a great return on investment, as PAD tests are reimbursable. 

Don't let PAD go undiagnosed - get the TruPAD™ and improve your patients' quality of life. The TruPAD™ comes with a computer with software, PVR, 2x10cm cuffs, an inflation bulb, a carry bag, a user manual, and quick reference guides.
