SkinFibroMeter – Measurements of skin and subcutaneous induration
SkinFibroMeter is a portable and easy-to-use device for measurements of tissue induration. Superficial induration manifesting in skin and upper subcutis can be quantified with an indentation principle non-invasively without alterations in measured tissue structure. The hand-held portable SkinFibroMeter is assessing induration in absolute stiffness unit.
BENEFITS
Fully portable indentation instrument
Measures induration of skin and upper subcutis noninvasively
Fast and sensitive measurement
Does not alter skin structure

Skin stiffness measuring device
skin stiffness measurement principle
The SkinFibroMeter consists of a 1.25 mm length indenter and two force sensors. The device is briefly pressed against the skin and the contact force is registered. The indenter imposes a constant deformation when the instrument is in full contact with the skin. The skin and the underlying upper subcutis resist the deformation and the induration value in Newtons (N) is determined.
