CONTACT PRESSURE-MEASURING SENSOR AND CONTACT PRESSURE- MEASURING APPARATUS WITH THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a contact pressure-measuring sensor in a simple structure and an inexpensive contact pressure-measuring apparatus equipped with the contact pressure-measuring sensor which can simply measure a pressure developed between a patient body surface and a bedding. SOLUTION: The contact pressure-measuring sensor holds a foam plastic 10b between two air-impermeable sheets 10a which returns to an original shape when released from pressing. The foaming plastic is held in a state without being pressed. A tube 10c is arranged extending from the vicinity of the foamed plastic 10b to the outside of the air-impermeable sheets 10a. The air-impermeable sheets 10a in the periphery of the foamed plastic 10b and tube 10c are bonded with each other.
