INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a Delfin SkinFibroMeter. The SkinFibroMeter
measures the induration of the skin. The measured force reading is a quantity
which indicates palpable tissue induration in quantitative means.
The SkinFibroMeter is safe and easy to operate and this manual is designed to
help perform measurements accurately and reliably. The measurement
process is totally non-invasive.
It is advisable to read this guide carefully before using
the SkinFibroMeter.
MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLE
The SkinFibroMeter utilizes an indenter which is briefly pressed on the skin.
The skin resists the change in shape when an external force is applied and
thus the skin’s response under a short-term load indicates its induration.
APPLICATIONS
The SkinFibroMeter is a medical device with a measuring function. The
measurements give important information on the biophysical properties of the
skin. The SkinFibroMeter can be used to help assessing skin and subcutis
induration degree. Effects of skin treatments and different skin care products
on the skin can also be examined. The SkinFibroMeter can be used in
numerous applications in skin research and in medicine.
Note that the SkinFibroMeter is intended to measure only the skin, not any
other material.
