Understanding MAIKONG Video Capillaroscopy for Nailfold Capillaries

MAIKONG video capillaroscopy device is a high-precision tool designed for examining the small blood vessels in the nailfold area (base of the fingernails). This advanced diagnostic equipment helps visualize capillary loops, abnormalities, and microvascular health, providing essential data for detecting and managing conditions like Raynaud’s phenomenon and systemic sclerosis. Nailfold video capillaroscopy (NVC) is especially valued in rheumatology for its role in spotting early signs of connective tissue diseases and in tracking the progression of systemic conditions by assessing microcirculation anomalies.

What Makes the Nailfold Capillaries So Important?

Capillaries in the nailfold are unique in that they are arranged parallel to the skin, making them visible through non-invasive imaging with minimal discomfort. These capillaries can reveal a “window” into a patient’s microcirculatory health, showing abnormal structures that indicate systemic diseases such as lupus, scleroderma, and mixed connective tissue disease. Changes in capillary morphology—like dilated, tortuous loops or avascular areas—are common markers of disease progression in systemic sclerosis and other related conditions, often appearing before other clinical symptoms do.

Features and Benefits of MAIKONG Video Capillaroscopy

• High Magnification and Clarity: The MAIKONG device offers magnification levels up to 200x or higher, capturing clear images of capillary structures. This level of detail enables practitioners to identify subtle variations and abnormalities that may otherwise go unnoticed.
• Diagnostic Accuracy: By providing a real-time view of capillary density, morphology, and blood flow, the device supports early diagnosis and treatment planning, especially useful in evaluating cases of primary versus secondary Raynaud’s phenomenon.
• Non-Invasive Monitoring: Unlike some invasive procedures, video capillaroscopy allows for a simple, non-intrusive examination, making it a suitable choice for continuous patient monitoring.

Product Specifications and Software Features

Here’s a detailed breakdown of MAIKONG’s key specifications and accessories for ease of use and functionality:

How MAIKONG Video Capillaroscopy Works

1. Preparation: The patient’s hands are acclimated to a stable room temperature (around 20-22°C) to avoid misleading readings due to temperature fluctuations.
2. Imaging Process: A drop of immersion oil is applied to enhance image quality. The clinician gently places the device on each finger, capturing multiple images to get a comprehensive view of capillary distribution.
3. Analysis: The captured images are uploaded and analyzed with specialized software that supports multiple languages, offering a detailed view of parameters like capillary density, shape, and the presence of microhemorrhages.

What Conditions Can MAIKONG Video Capillaroscopy Help Detect?

• Systemic Sclerosis (SSc): Commonly displays giant capillaries, avascular areas, and hemorrhages.
• Raynaud’s Phenomenon: Helps differentiate primary (non-progressive) from secondary forms associated with autoimmune diseases.
• Other Connective Tissue Diseases (CTDs): Conditions such as lupus or Sjögren’s syndrome may show capillary abnormalities, though typically less severe than in scleroderma.
