PNEUMATICALLY-OPERATED INTEGRATED ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR MEASURING INTERFACE PRESSURE EXERTED BY COMPRESSION DRESSINGS

摘要

This is a novel device for measuring the interface pressure exerted by medical compression dressings, comprising a pneumatic sensor (R) suitable for inserting between the patient's skin and the compression dressing (B), with measuring means (D) comprising at least one pressure gauge (M) connected to said sensor (R) for measuring the pressure exerted on said sensor (R) and at least one electronic circuit (E), connected to said pressure gauge (M), for recording and displaying the pressure reading, a syringe (S) or other device connected to said sensor (R) for injecting air inside said sensor (R), said syringe (S) being attached to said measuring means (D).
