What Is an Angio Suite and How Does It Help Our Patients?

An Angiography (Angio) Suite is an innovative medical space fully-equipped with advanced imaging technology that allows you to undergo certain vascular procedures in an outpatient setting. It is often used to assess or increase blood flow, examine the condition of blood vessels after a trauma or surgery, and perform other angiographic surgeries. 

Exciting Innovations in Prosthetics

According to the Amputee Coalition, more than 2.1 million people in the U.S. are living with limb loss — a number that’s projected to jump to 3.6 million by 2050. While trauma is a common cause for amputation, the majority of cases are caused by vascular disease. For instance, 85% of lower-limb amputations are preceded by foot ulcers, a common characteristic of circulatory impediments caused by diabetes.

While these statistics may seem grim, advancements in the world of prosthetics are accelerating at a rapid pace. Here’s a look at some of the most promising developments.
