Principle: Measurement of air pressure-induced skin elevation and subsequent retraction time.
Settings: Adjustable pressure (150, 400, and 650 mbar) and skin thickness (in mm).
Measurements: Young’s Modulus, Retraction Time, and Viscoelasticity.
Probe: 10 mm diameter suction aperture.
Ultra-low weight (approx. 7 grams) for minimum skin bias.
Adheres to the skin by double sided adhesive tape.
Highlights:
Extraction of U-values from the elevation/retraction curve.
Possible to measure an average of several elevation/retraction cycles.
Measurements on soft, normal, and firm skin.
