FLUOBEAM LM
Advanced technology to assess perfusion
FLUOBEAM LM is intended to provide real-time near infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging of tissue during surgical procedures. Upon intravenous administration and use of an ICG consistent with its approved labeling, the FLUOBEAM LM is indicated for use in capturing and viewing fluorescent images for the visualization of vessels, blood flow and tissue perfusion before, during and after organ transplant, plastic, micro- and reconstructive surgeries.
Excellence at your fingertips
FLUOBEAM LM is an integrated fluorescence imaging solution that provides the surgeon, during surgery, with information invisible to the naked eye such as tissue perfusion. It helps the surgeon in the decision-making process in order to reduce the rate of complications. [1]
Its ease of use and image processing functions makes it a major asset for surgeons.
Ergonomics: a certain taste of freedom
FLUOBEAM LM has been designed to be integrated in the surgical workflow. It offers the surgeon total autonomy during surgery, allowing him to control all acquisition and visualization parameters from the sterile area.
Safety: you won’t believe your eyes
FLUOBEAM LM is an optically safe and ergonomic system. The camera combines safety and performance. Its optical head with a sensitive near-infrared camera excites the fluorescent agent with a class 1 laser, which is harmless to the eye even in direct vision.
Ergonomic and intuitive
The FLUOBEAM LM technology was developed to provide surgeons with a comfortable ergonomic camera and intuitive software during surgery.
Its joystick allows a fluid navigation in the software functionalities and offers the surgeon a total autonomy when using the device.
High performance and safety
FLUOBEAM LM has been designed to offer a high level of technical performance while ensuring surgeon and patient safety.
The power of its Class 1 laser and the quality of its optical filtering allow the surgeon to operate up to a working distance of 12 cm.
Automatic acquisition mode
FLUOBEAM LM offers more than just images. Its integrated multi-indication software launches with a single click and automatically accesses dynamic information that is difficult to integrate with the naked eye.
The camera allows the surgeon to have direct and autonomous access to an analysis of the perfusion dynamics in the field, the location of the perforator vessels and the extent of their perfusion zone.

Perforator location in free flap reconstructive surgery
In free flap reconstructive surgery, FLUOBEAM LM helps to identify perforating vessels but also evaluate the quality of tissue perfusion in real time. This additional information helps limit postoperative complications such as total or partial tissue necrosis.
Evaluation of the quality of tissue perfusion
FLUOBEAM LM, used in combination with Indocyanine Green (ICG), is a fluorescence imaging solution that allows surgeons to assess the quality of tissue perfusion in real time.
In addition to real-time imaging, the relative quantification tool provides the surgeon with additional information that allows him to adjust his surgical procedure. This information will also be used to ensure follow-up, and a post-operative evaluation adapted to each patient.
An indication-oriented software
The integrated FLUOSOFT LM imaging software offers s several acquisition modes depending on clinical indications, so that surgeons can get the expected images.
- Pseudo-colorization with the push of a button to assess perfusion with relative quantification
- Automatic tool to help in perforator vessels identification before flap dissection
This approach, combined with proven acquisition protocols, helps prevent mishandling and ensures great reliability.
Fluorescence imaging brings benefits in
Plastic and Reconstructive surgery
- Help in identifying intraoperatively perforator vessels and perforator angiosome
- Real-time intraoperative tissue perfusion assessment
- More precise flap design according to the perfused areas
- Relative quantification tool (additional information to improve the specificity of the method)
- Early identification of complications [4],[5]
- Postoperative monitoring
Fluorescence imaging in plastic and reconstructive surgery
Plastic and reconstructive surgeries require precise assessment of tissue perfusion quality to prevent partial necrosis. Indocyanine Green (ICG) fluorescence angiography offers reliable verification of tissue perfusion and identification of at-risk areas. FLUOBEAM LM facilitates real-time visualization of ICG flow, distribution, and accumulation on a screen during surgery, aiding in visualizing blood flow.
Breast reconstruction
FLUOBEAM LM allows the surgeon to evaluate in real time the quality of tissue perfusion (flaps or skin after mastectomy with preservation of the skin flap) and to adapt the surgical procedure to minimize the risks of complications.
During a reconstruction procedure, with the use of an autologous flap (free or pedicled), it is essential to ensure good tissue perfusion to avoid postoperative complications, such as partial or fat necrosis.
