Skin hydration measurement device
The practicality of the MoistureMeterD Compact makes it an ideal tool for measurements in clinical settings and therapy centers for assessing tissue water, edema and effects of treatment interventions. Applications for the MoistureMeterD Compact vary from edema of medical conditions into research and development applications in pharmaceutical, wound and personal care industry where easy assessment of tissue water content is mandatory.
You can find independent studies related to MoistureMeterD Compact in our Publications section.
Skin hydration measurement principle
The MoistureMeterD Compact generates a low power 300 MHz microwave field exposed to tissue. Part of the signal is absorbed and part is reflected back to permit the calculation of a dielectric constant, which is directly proportional to the water content of the measured tissue. The value increases with increasing water content and edema.
