Description:
Article Sustained pressure on the skin reduces blood flow and causes wounds. Here the authors describe a flexible electronic ‘bandage’ that measures changes in tissue impedance spectra and detects early tissue damage in rats before it can be visualized, thus enabling possible prevention of pressure ulcers.
