Skin Heater Module

The programmable moorVMS-HEAT™ skin heater unit provides reproducible heating of skin tissue up to 45ºC to be used with any laser Doppler blood flow monitor, imager or tissue oxygenation monitor. It can also be used as a skin temperature monitor. Assessments include maximal flow response, temperature standardisation. In addition Axon reflex flare response can be performed with the moorVMS-HEAT-HT variant which temporarily allows heating to 47ºC – please refer to application note.

The features include;

• Dual channel: enables simultaneous, independent heating and monitoring of two separate areas.
• Variable heating rate: independent channel heating rate 0.01ºC - 0.1ºC per second.
• Stand-alone: manual control enables operation without a separate control unit or computer.
• Protocol control: to enable fully reproducible procedures in your studies supported by moorVMS-PC PC software.
• Measurement and analysis software package: automated to aid generation and processing of results.
• Factory calibrated probes: no calibration necessary for the life time of the probes.
