ENDOSCOPIC TACTILE TISSUE DENSITY METRE Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A61B1/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medical equipment, particularly practice and technique of human organs endoscopy. An endoscopic tactile tissue density metre comprises an endoscope with tissue density sensors with the tissue density sensors being pressure sensors. The pressure sensors are designed in the form of elastic chambers filled with a pressoreceptive medium. The metre also comprises a tactile matrix comprising a number of cells on a single common carrier and having partitions, a tactile matrix screen, measuring pressure amplifiers, measuring temperature amplifiers, a total pressure summer, and a total pressure indication unit. The tissue density sensor comprises a temperature sensor. The carrier, partitions and tactile matrix screen form a fluid-filled sealed chamber, and each cell of the tactile matrix comprises a screw, a heating element and the temperature sensor.

EFFECT: use of the invention allows enhancing the device due to transmission and reproduction of tactile and temperature data of the tissue state during endoscopic examination for perception by doctor's hand.
