TANPAPS 2026 –
Integrated Diabetic Foot Program

Visit Us at TANPAPS 2026 – Madurai Unit Pavilion, Kodaikanal

We are delighted to invite all delegates and attendees to visit our stall at TANPAPS 2026, hosted by the Madurai unit, taking place in Kodaikanal in March 2026.

At this year’s conference, we will be showcasing our latest Vascular Dopplers and Diabetic Foot Care Diagnostic Systems, designed to directly support the core goals of TANPAPS—enhancing flap safety, improving limb salvage outcomes, and elevating clinical success in diabetic and trauma-related lower-limb reconstruction.

About TANPAPS 2026

TANPAPS is a premier state-level meeting for plastic surgeons, with a strong focus on:

Diabetic foot management
Lower-limb trauma
Complex wound reconstruction

Tamil Nadu has recently launched the Padham Padhukaappom Thittam (PPT)—a comprehensive diabetic foot screening program targeting over 80 lakh diabetic patients for neuropathy and vascular occlusion. This initiative makes vascular and foot-care diagnostics more relevant than ever to plastic surgeons practicing across the state.

Why Vascular Dopplers Matter

Handheld Vascular Dopplers play a key role in early and accurate assessment of lower-limb blood flow. They offer quick, non-invasive evaluation of:

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD)
Distal perfusion adequacy
Pre-ulcer ischemic changes

Studies in Indian diabetic populations show 16–18% PAD prevalence, and combining ABI with Doppler significantly increases detection of asymptomatic vascular disease—critical for planning debridements, flaps, and skin grafts.

Essential Role in Diabetic Foot Care

Our diabetic foot care devices—including ABI/TBI analyzers, Doppler + PPG toe sensors, neuropathy testers, and plantar pressure assessment tools—support:

Risk stratification
Offloading decisions
Healing monitoring
Tissue viability assessments

Toe pressure and TBI measurements are especially valuable when tibial vessel calcification leads to falsely elevated ABI, helping surgeons judge true perfusion status and make informed limb salvage decisions.

Direct Usefulness for Plastic Surgeons

Our vascular and foot diagnostics support plastic surgeons at every stage of care:

Pre-operative

Mapping perforators
Assessing inflow and outflow
Screening for PAD before flap or graft surgery

Intra-operative

Real-time flap perfusion checks
Immediate detection of inflow compromise

Post-operative

Surveillance of flap viability
Early detection of ischemia or venous issues

These tools align seamlessly with the protocol-based care encouraged under the PPT program, strengthening early screening, ulcer prevention, evidence-based offloading, and timely referrals.
