More about Applications
In the development and evaluation of skin care
products, cosmetics and textiles, the
TiVi600 Tissue Viability Imager
is the ideal tool for productive and efficient product assessment. The
irritative potential of tested products can be displayed in terms of
images, video-clips and statistical data all independent of the actual
user or the laboratory at which the investigations are performed.
TiVi600 can also be used to evaluate razors, diapers, napkins, sanitary
towels, deodorants and many other products that potentially can have an
effect on the skin.
In patch
testing procedures including irritation grading
and allergy assessment, the sensitive skin
responds by vasodilatation often judged by visual scoring. Using the
TiVi600 system in such applications, the
response can be quantified in a user- and laboratory-independent way, thereby
facilitating the comparison of results obtained by different users and in
different laboratories at different points in time.
In
drug development pharmacodynamic effects can be
assessed by use of the TiVi600
system. This application involves e.g. transepidermal drug diffusion by way of
iontophoresis. By using the video-mode the dynamics of the reaction can be
readily demonstrated and analyzed with respect to dose and rate of
administration.
In
microvascular research, the
TiVi600 system is particularly useful
for studies of how the microvascular bed reacts to internal or external stimuli.
The high spatial resolution makes it possible to study maximal or minimal
reactions within a region of interest, thereby increasing understanding of how
the different compartments in the microvasculature interact.
In occupational medicine the TiVi60 Skin
Damage Visualizer
is well suited for investigation of skin damaged by
aggressive chemicals or use of vibrating tools.
Follow changes in skin colour as an indicator of development and
progression of skin disease or heling process by use of the
TiVi70 Skin Colour Tracker.
The
TiVi80 Spot Analyzer assists the dermatologist
in the assessment of facial spots such as acne. An integrated Project
monitor analyses and displays data from an entire panel test.
The
TiVi90 Wrinkle Analyzer and the
TiVi95 Surface Analyzer automatically
analysis the appearance of wrinkles and cellulite formations typically
before and after treatment. |
