Local measurements of edema
MoistureMeterD Compact
The MoistureMeterD Compact measures tissue water and edema precisely. A universal, portable device for assessing skin and upper subcutis hydration.
MoistureMeterD Compact – Local measurements of tissue water
The MoistureMeterD Compact is a portable and non-invasive instrument for local measurements of tissue water. It is a unique tissue water-specific instrument for assessing percentage water content (PWC) in biological tissues. It measures the tissue dielectric constant (TDC) in the skin and subcutis in seconds after applying the measurement probe on the skin. TDC values are converted into percentage water content (PWC) scale from 0 to 100 % for easy interpretation of results.
MoistureMeterD Compact is a CE marked medical device (CE0537). FDA clearance 510(k).
Benefits
- Highly sensitive measurement of percentage water content in skin and subcutis
- Totally non-invasive
- Localized edema measurements at virtually all body skin sites
- Displays percentage water content (0 - 100 %) highly proportional to interstitial fluid
- Built-in pressure sensor for consistent, reproducible and user-independent measurements

FAQs
The MoistureMeterD Compact measures tissue water and edema in the skin and upper subcutis. It provides fast, reproducible results, making it useful in both research and clinical practice.
Measuring and monitoring tissue water and edema helps identify the focal spots of swelling, track treatment progress, and study skin physiology. It is particularly valuable in lymphedema care, lymphedema research, and clinical evaluations of edema status of patients.
MoistureMeterD Compact is better for quick assessments of tissue water and edema across skin and subcutis. Multiprobe MoistureMeterD provides multi-depth profiles from 0.5 to 5.0 mm with interchangeable probes, ideal for detailed research. Hence, MoistureMeterD Compact is recommended for clinical practice with patients and Multiprobe MoistureMeterD for research use.
MoistureMeterD Compact is measuring water content deeper into the tissue, extending assessment to both skin and upper subcutis. In contrast, MoistureMeterSC is designed for surface hydration, and MoistureMeterEpiD measures deep epidermal hydration.
Yes. The device is widely applied in clinical research, dermatology, and pharmaceutical research studies, as well as for monitoring edema in medical contexts. Its portability and accuracy make it suitable for both clinical and research use.
