The search for cost-effective tools in the prevention and management of pressure-related
problems for at risk patients has been a constant source of frustration for clinicians and hospital
administrators. Tekscan's pressure measurement devices provide accurate, reliable data that is outcome
focused and provides important insights into the formation of pressure-related sores. This information is an
important quantitative adjunct to other qualitative assessment tools, assisting the clinician in providing
results-oriented, cost-effective assessments and preventative care.
Tekscan offers a variety of ways to learn more about pressure measurement technology. Attend one of our hands on seminars
or view a web demonstration from the comfort of your own home or office. You can also catch up on our quarterly newsletter,
Footnotes. We're always adding new events so view our upcoming events to
find a learning opportunity near you!
Our systems provide much needed
information in the areas of the management of the diabetic foot, orthotic assessment, optimization
of the seating and positioning of the neurologically compromised, burn garment assessment, prosthesis and
brace fitting, design and development of pressure-reducing support surfaces and orthopedic joint research.
Each system comprises innovative electronics, appropriate
sensors and unique WindowsTM-based software designed for the
specific application. A health care provider can now make immediate
assessments of the patient's need for clinical intervention in anatomical areas where he formerly made informed
guesses. Our systems provide measurement data in real-time and enable the clinician to instantaneously capture
and store the data for more detailed examination.
Tekscan Software Display
The analysis of dynamic or static pressure distribution revolves around Tekscan's innovative, real-time, tactile sensing systems.
These systems are capable of measuring critical patient/surface interface pressure with minimal interference. Extremely thin, flexible
sensors accommodate most contours and provide highly accurate local pressure readings. Tekscan's pressure sensors provide the most appropriate
spatial resolution required for the medical application under consideration. Vivid graphics, displayed on a PC, make the information easy to interpret
and provide the clinician with excellent documentation.
