Problems solved by technology

[0036] Understandably, the development of such a pressure measurement system satisfying all the above conditions is very complicated, which is why until now pressure measurement systems for the interface between the compression system and the skin (allowing its simple routine use ) is still one of the reasons for the unresolved problem

Embodiment Construction

[0079] support member

[0080] In the present invention, the support member of the pressure measurement system can be made of any flexible material that can be made into a sheet and deformable to conform to the shape of the part of the body to be treated (eg a leg).

[0081] For example, this material can be:

[0082] - Textile materials such as wovens, nonwovens, braids or three-dimensional fabrics;

[0083] - porous materials such as foam;

[0084] -film;

[0085] - composites composed of two of these materials;

[0086] - A polymer matrix, eg silicone gel.

[0087] As examples of composite materials, mention may be made of composites consisting of a combination of nonwovens and films. Such materials can be produced by techniques known to those skilled in the art, for example by using adhesives, by thermal calendering or by ultrasonic compounding.

[0088] In compression therapy, especially for the treatment of leg ulcers, it is important that the interface pressure ...

Abstract

The subject of the present invention is a system for measuring contact surface pressure applied on the skin, especially for use in compression therapy, comprising a support member carrying a sensor comprising at least two sensors arranged separately on said support member. pressure sensors capable of measuring pressure applied at two predetermined locations; and an electronic system connected to said sensors and capable of obtaining values ​​simultaneously measured by these sensors, and each pressure sensor comprises preferably approximately a flat transforming element having a surface in contact with the skin at the site of use, the transforming element being in direct contact with the skin or via an intermediate layer of material covering this surface of the transforming element, the transforming element or The compressive elastic modulus of the intermediate layer measured when the surface is in contact with the skin is 30-500 kPa, preferably 80-400 kPa, more preferably 200-400 kPa. Uses: Compression therapy.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to a system for measuring contact surface pressure, in particular pressure exerted on the skin. The invention is particularly suitable for compression therapy in the medical field. Background technique [0002] Compression therapy is considered an effective technique in the treatment of disorders related to venous insufficiency such as thrombosis, edema, lymphedema, or leg ulcers. [0003] The therapy is based on the positioning of various compression devices, such as compression stockings or bandages, whose variable elastic properties allow the selective use of therapeutic pressure windows according to the patient and his pathology. [0004] A compression device (such as a bandage) must achieve two goals: [0005] - First, it must be able to apply the proper pressure when set; and [0006] - On the other hand, it has to maintain the pressure level within a given therapeutic pressure range for several days, th...
