Device and method for characterization of the skin by tribometry

摘要

This device for characterization of the human skin consists of a tribometer 2,5,7,8 comprising a measuring arm 1 at the first end of which are mounted a measuring tip and a measuring sensor 3 capable of measuring a frictional force being exerted on the tip, and the second end of which is mounted in a support 2 enabling linear movement of the first end. An amplifier 7 and treatment means 8 and signal visualization means 9 are associated with the sensor.
