Mesure de la pression artérielle à l'aide de capteurs.
Designation:
Portable pressure sensor for measuring sub-bandage pressure and compression levels.
Manufacturer: Microlabitalia (Italy).
Main Function:
- Precise measurement of the interface pressure exerted by medical bandages, compression stockings, or sports compression garments.
- Real-time pressure monitoring to ensure optimal therapeutic or recovery compression gradients.
- Widely used in medical settings, rehabilitation, and sports science research (specifically concerning compression therapy and recovery).
Technical Characteristics:
Type: Electronic pneumatic pressure sensor.
Measurement Range: 0 – 200 mmHg.
Accuracy: ± 1 mmHg.
Display Unit: mmHg.
Compact dimensions and ultra-lightweight design (highly portable).
LCD screen for direct, real-time pressure display.
Power Supply: Rechargeable battery (autonomy of ~8–10 hours).
Ultra-flat sensor probes designed to be seamlessly inserted directly under the bandage for accurate in vivo reading.
Usage:
- Pressure control in medical compression therapies (e.g., treatment of lymphedema, chronic venous insufficiency).
- Clinical research and sports science applications (evaluating the efficacy of compression garments for muscle recovery).
- Verification, adjustment, and standardization of compression devices in physiotherapy and rehabilitation.
Advantages:
- High precision and exceptional reliability.
- Portable and highly user-friendly.
- Allows practitioners to precisely optimize therapeutic or athletic compression doses.
- Suitable for use in clinics, at home, or directly in the sports field.
Limitations:
- Specifically designed for external compression measurement (not a multi-functional device).
- Requires a certain degree of training and skill to correctly position the flat sensor to avoid reading artifacts.
- Relatively high cost compared to standard blood pressure monitors.
