<p>An in vitro testing method for predicting a coefficient of friction exhibited by a material passed over human skin, in vivo. A material operatively connects between a scaffold and a load cell and a synthetic sheet mounts on the scaffold. A porous layer is applied to an exposed surface of the synthetic sheet, forming a simulated human tissue. The material engages the simulated human tissue and moves relative to the scaffold to measure the coefficient of friction between the material and the simulated human tissue with the load cell.</p> |
