Abstract
A simple laboratory instrument is described for giving continuous readout of interface pressures arising between body tissues and a support system. The sensor used is a rapidly available pneumatic capsule type, but which as normally used only gives single readings. The instrument described allows varying pressures to be studied. The instrument would also have application to pressure measurements under dressings or clothing.Keywords
