Patent

CA 2264869

A handheld materials testing device (101, 102) is provided for m easuring compressive properties of a material, preferably articular cartilage in vivo. The device is computer-controlled and provides a readout indicative of the desired compressive property, which in the case of bodily tissue, may be indicative of the state of health of the tissue. The device does not require precise perpendicular alignment and is preferably capable of compensating for force applied by the user against the tissue.

L'invention concerne un dispositif d'essai de matériaux (101, 102) tenu à la main, permettant de mesurer les propriétés de compression d'un matériau, de préférence d'un cartilage articulaire in vivo. Ce dispositif est commandé par ordinateur et permet d'afficher des informations indiquant la propriété de compression désirée, qui dans le cas de tissus organiques, permet de connaître l'état de santé du tissu. Ce dispositif ne nécessite pas d'alignement perpendiculaire précis et peut de préférence compenser la force exercée par l'utilisateur sur le tissu.
