Lymphedema Measurement Solutions

Localized assessment of lymphedema is primordial wether it's done early as prevention or as therapy follow-up.

We have developed hand-held instruments able to offer measurement solutions on any part of the body, in any position, and display instant results:

The LymphScanner
The MoistureMeterD 4 Probes
The SkinFibroMeter

LymphScanner

Brochure

It assesses localized & chronic regional lymphedema

It's the only non-invasive device measuring localized percentage water content (PWC) with the TDC Technology,

It measures PWC in earliest stages of lymphedema,

It tracks treatment-related effects in skin,

It is useful for assessment after breast & gynecological cancers and melanoma,

The results appear within instantly.

The LymphScanner can assist physicians in forming a clinical judgement of lymphedema on any skin area of the body.

Rapid skin scanning helps lymphologists and therapists to get spatial information on the localized extent of lymphedema for the planning of treatment interventions.

The principle of operation of the hand-held LymphScanner is based on the processing of data derived from the interaction between device generated microwaves and biological material.

The measured value is the tissue dielectric constant (TDC), then converted into percentage water content (PWC).

The probe, in contact with the skin, is moved from site to site.

The LymphScanner displays the PWC of an initial reference site and calculates the ratio of any subsequent reading with respect to the PWC of the selected reference site.

Easy and quick scanning of potential sites of lymphedema helps detect regional distribution of lymphedema, previously undetectable on breast, head and neck region, thorax and genital region.

MoistureMeterD 4 Probes

It measures tissue water and local edema.

It is a water- specific Instrument,

It is non-invasive and measures locally,

The results appear within instantly,

It measures water content of biological tissues, based on Dielectric Constant of the skin & subcutaneous tissues.

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.

The MoistureMeter D comprises a measuring unit and 4 probes (effective measurement depths from 0.5mm to 5.0mm).

It can be used in all clinical and non-clinical research applications, where changes of tissue water may be present.

SkinFibroMeter

It measures locally skin induration.

It is the only hand-held portable Instrument assessing induration in absolute units of stiffness,

It measures tissue stiffness in quantitive units,

Only 1 stiffness parameter can determine tissue firmness,

The SkinFibroMeter has been validated against measurements with industrial standards, and in clinical studies against palpation and historical findings.
