MOISTURE METER Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC A61B5/53 A61B5/01 

FIELD: medical equipment.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medical equipment. Moisture meter for measuring moisture content (1) of subject comprises an impedance-type moisture measuring unit (30) to measure a moisture content or the moisture measuring unit including measurement current supply electrode portions. Impedance-type unit (30) is configured to held in an armpit of a subject and contains the moisture measuring unit including measurement current supply electrode portions (30A and 30B) and voltage measurement electrode portions (100A and 100B) that make contact with a skin surface of the armpit. Electrostatic capacitance-type moisture measuring unit is configured to hold in an armpit of the subject and measurement of electrostatic capacitance, using multiple electrodes for measuring a moisture content, based on variation of values of dielectric permeability, changing according to the level of moisture content. Moisture meter (1) includes main body (10), measuring unit holder (11), and display unit holder (12). Measuring unit holder (11) is formed to be continuous with main body (10) and it is formed with a possibility of the clamping in the armpit to hold impedance-type unit (30) or electrostatic capacitance-type unit. Display unit holder (12) is placed on the other end of main body (10) to hold display unit, displaying (21) the measured value of the moisture content. Main body (10) includes a first curved portion (10B) that is smoothly curved outward and a second curved portion (10C) that is greatly curved inward. Second curved portion (10C) is more curved than the first curved portion (10B).

EFFECT: achieved the simplification of the measurement of the moisture content and provision of the use as an agent for the subject's care at the moisture content regulation.
