Sponsor's own description

This is a non-randomized prospective study of 30 patients scheduled to undergo lower extremity amputation (below the knee, through the knee or above the knee) evaluating bone perfusion and viability using indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging at several steps during surgical procedure.
