INTRAORAL DEVICE FOR TAKING RHEOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: medical engineering. SUBSTANCE: device has contact heads and dielectric base. The dielectric base has U-shaped casing from plastic material like polyvinyl siloxane repeating tissue profile in the area under study. The contact heads manufactured from materials like stainless steel or titanium are mounted on internal surface of the base. Elastic properties of polyvinyl siloxane enable one to set the heads in parallel position relative to alveolar process surfaces. Current and potential contact heads are fixed 4 mm apart from one another. The contact heads are connected to measuring control units by means of wire system. EFFECT: high reliability in recording hemodynamic characteristics. 3 dwg
