As such, this useful and reliable technology has not previously been applicable to muscle-only free flaps where other modalities with substantial limitations continue to be utilized.\n\u2003We present the first NIRS probe which allows continuous monitoring of local tissue oxygen saturation (StO\n\u2003The intramuscular NIRS device and skin-mounted ViOptix T.Ox devices produced very similar StO\n\u2003This novel intramuscular NIRS probe offers continuous monitoring of oxygen saturation within muscle flaps.
