Not every clinical need is met by a standard handheld Doppler. This category brings together specialist vascular instruments for practitioners requiring dedicated peripheral assessment capability — from a compact pocket Doppler optimised for vascular-only use, to a comprehensive ankle and toe pressure kit designed for formal limb pressure measurement. Both products are trusted tools in Canadian vascular, wound care, podiatric, and diabetes management settings.

Our Other Vascular Doppler Products

Imex Pocket-Dop II Handheld Doppler With 5 MHz Vascular Probe The Imex Pocket-Dop II is a dedicated vascular handheld Doppler built for peripheral arterial and venous assessment. Compact and straightforward to operate, it comes equipped with a 5 MHz vascular probe suited to mid-depth peripheral vessel evaluation — including assessment of femoral, popliteal, tibial, and pedal vessels, and ankle-brachial index (ABI) measurement.

The Pocket-Dop II is an audio-only instrument, delivering clear Doppler signal output without a digital display — well-suited to experienced vascular practitioners who interpret signal waveform and quality by ear. Its compact, lightweight design makes it practical for use at the bedside, in community clinics, or during vascular rounds where portability and quick deployment matter.

A focused, reliable choice for GPs, vascular nurses, wound care practitioners, and podiatrists performing routine peripheral vascular screening.

Dopplex® ATP Kit — Ankle & Toe Pressure Kit The Dopplex ATP (Ankle and Toe Pressure) Kit is a comprehensive vascular assessment system designed for formal limb pressure measurement. Used to calculate both ankle-brachial index (ABI) and toe-brachial index (TBI), the ATP Kit provides the quantitative pressure data needed to classify peripheral arterial disease severity, guide wound care and compression therapy decisions, and support vascular referral pathways.

TBI measurement — made possible by the toe cuffs included in this kit — is particularly important in patients where ABI results may be unreliable due to arterial calcification, including many patients with diabetes or chronic kidney disease. In these populations, toe pressure provides a more accurate indicator of distal perfusion and wound healing potential.

The Dopplex ATP Kit is a trusted tool in Canadian vascular clinics, diabetes foot care services, wound management programmes, and any clinical setting where formal, documented limb pressure assessment is part of standard practice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between ABI and TBI measurement? Ankle-brachial index (ABI) compares blood pressure at the ankle with pressure at the brachial artery in the arm — a standard screening tool for peripheral arterial disease. Toe-brachial index (TBI) measures pressure at the toe and is used when ABI results are unreliable, particularly in patients with arterial calcification such as those with diabetes or chronic kidney disease. Calcified vessels do not compress normally, causing falsely elevated ABI readings; toe vessels are less prone to calcification, making TBI a more accurate measure of distal perfusion in these patient groups. The Dopplex ATP Kit supports both measurements.

When should I use the Dopplex ATP Kit instead of a standard handheld Doppler? A standard handheld Doppler detects the presence or absence of a Doppler signal and can be used for qualitative pulse assessment and basic ABI screening. The Dopplex ATP Kit is designed for formal, quantitative limb pressure measurement — producing documented ABI and TBI values used to classify peripheral arterial disease severity, guide compression bandaging decisions, and support clinical referral. If your practice requires documented pressure values rather than signal detection alone, the ATP Kit is the appropriate tool.

What does the Imex Pocket-Dop II 5 MHz probe assess? The 5 MHz probe is suited to mid-depth peripheral vascular assessment, including femoral, popliteal, tibial, and pedal arteries. It is the standard probe frequency for ABI screening and general lower limb arterial assessment across most patient presentations. For superficial distal vessels or diabetic foot assessment requiring higher resolution, an 8 MHz probe — available in the Imex Elite range — may be more appropriate.

Is the Imex Pocket-Dop II suitable for fetal monitoring? No — the Pocket-Dop II is a dedicated vascular Doppler and is not configured for fetal heart monitoring. For fetal monitoring, see the Baby Sound Fetal Doppler, Edan SD3, or Imex Elite ranges, which offer obstetric probe configurations.

Do I need ultrasound gel for these Dopplers? Yes — ultrasound transmission gel is required for clear signal acquisition with any Doppler probe. It ensures effective sound wave transmission between the probe and skin. Surgo stocks compatible ultrasound gel under our Doppler Accessories range.
