After the end head 24 is released, the slide rod 23 slides upward under the action of the reset spring 25, and the wound probe 21 is separated from the wound 3.

[0039] The force arm 4 is made of elastic material, and the two ends of the force arm 4 are respectively connected with the skin probe 11 and the fixing sleeve 22.

[0046] The contact cap 211 is made of elastic metal material, when the contact cap 211 contacts the wound 3, the contact cap 211 deforms, the normal skin or the skin after scabbing has high elasticity and large deformation;The skin after ulceration has small elasticity and small deformation;The deformation of the contact cap 211 is detected by the distance sensor 213 and sent to the single-chip microcomputer, so as to facilitate the doctor to evaluate the healing condition of the wound 3, and the air holes 212 facilitate air outlet and facilitate deformation of the contact cap 211.

[0047] The present application comprises the following aspects:

[0048] The skin probe 11 wrapped in the adhesive film 12 and the freely movable wound probe 21 form a wound single-point detection device: the skin probe 11 and the wound probe 21 are both made of beryllium copper gold plating, wherein the skin probe is flat and round, with a diameter of 0.2-10 mm, and the wound probe 21 is needle-shaped, with a diameter of 0.5 mm-10 mm.
