MoistureMeterD – Measurements for tissue water content and localized edema
Multiprobe MoistureMeterD is a unique instrument for the measurement of water content in biological tissues. It measures the tissue dielectric constant (TDC) of the skin and subcutaneous tissue non-invasively and locally in a few seconds. The tissue dielectric constant (TDC) is directly proportional to the amount of water in the tissue. The TDC value increases with increasing water content and edema.
BENEFITS
Highly sensitive measurement of water content and edema in skin and subcutis
Totally non-invasive
Fast and easy measurement
Local measurements on virtually all areas of the body
Probes for different measurement depths up to 5 mm
The desktop multiprobe MoistureMeterD model consists of a measuring unit and four probes with effective measurement depths from 0.5 mm to 5.0 mm. The multiprobe MoistureMeterD can be used in all clinical and non-clinical research applications where changes of tissue water may exist.

Tissue edema measurement principle
The MoistureMeterD generates a high frequency, 300 MHz, low power electromagnetic (EM) wave which the tissue is exposed to. The reflected EM wave is registered and the obtained value is a dielectric constant, which is proportional to the water content of the measured tissue. The value increases with increasing water content and edema.
