DEVICE FOR DETERMINING ELASTICITY OF SKIN AND HUMAN SKIN SCARS

摘要

FIELD: medical technology.;SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medical technology and can be used in aesthetic medicine and in prosthetics of the limbs. The device contains two jaws movably connected to each other, contact elements, a unit for creating an effort to move the jaws relative to each other and a unit for measuring this displacement. The branches are interconnected by a bar with the possibility of linear reciprocating displacement. The unit for measuring this displacement is fixed on the branch and an electronic indicator of movement is introduced into it. The unit for creating an effort for extending the branch is fixed on the branch and a beam with a strain gauge and an electronic indicator of this effort are introduced into it. The force on the beam is transmitted from the thrust. The contact elements are removable and have, on the one hand, pins for fixing to the branches through holes made in them, and on the other hand, a contact pad for adhesive fixation to a skin area or a skin scar.;EFFECT: expansion of functionality by ensuring the determination of the elasticity of areas not only smooth (not affected by scars) skin, but also skin scars, and in areas not only structurally defined, but also of arbitrary length, as well as increasing the measurement accuracy by increasing the reliability of fastening the contact elements of the device to the surface of the skin and the scar of the skin.;1 cl, 4 dwg
