Non-invasive beat-to-beat blood pressure monitoring provides important information about the circulation of patients during sleep. The Finometer® systems are widely preferred in comparison to arterial lines for patient comfort and to avoid possible infections. The Portapres® allows patients to sleep comfortably throughout the night. The dual cuff system makes it possible to switch between fingers on set intervals permitting continuous measurements for up to 60 hours.
A wealth of information about the use of Finapres devices and especially the Portapres® in space research can be found in the NASA Life Science Data Archive at the Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas.

The quality, portability and technology of Finapres systems are providing NASA top scientists the opportunity to do hemodynamic research on the ground, in flight missions and during extended stays in space (ISS formerly MIR). The Portapres® has been on many missions providing important information for advanced research projects. Our Portapres® is used by NASA in space to evaluate the changes of microgravity conditions of spaceflight and abroad the ISS (International Space Station).
Returning quickly to competition or workplace is important for your patients. Finapres Medical Systems products are widely used in research and clinical settings in neurological, sports, pediatric and occupational health rehabilitation services to measure the current status or progress in stroke volume (SV), total peripheral resistance (TPR) or cardiac output (CO).
