An Abdominal Probing Device, for early detection of e.g. appendicitis, comprising a probe (2, 3) in a cylindrical body (5), the outer end 3 of the probe projecting beyond the body 5 and the inner end of the probe operating against a compression spring (4) and actuating an electronic of mechanical indicator (1) which indicates the resistance of the abdominal muscle. The preload of the spring may be adjusted and an external collar (9, 10), intended to be placed on the epidermis of the patient, can be adjusted on the body 5 so that the probe end protrudes to varying degrees beyond the collar 10 when pressure is applied to the patient's muscle. <IMAGE> |
