Summer Discount for Pressurex Sensor Film

To spur research and development efforts, Sensor Products Inc. is offering a 10% discount on its versatile Pressurex pressure-indicating sensor film during this summer. Over the past decade, many White Papers about medical devices and biomechanics have been written using the sensor film. Pressurex measures surface contact pressures between 2 -- 43,200 PSI (0.14 – 3,000 g/cm²) in eight different pressure ranges. The 10% discount is available to researchers until November 30, 2010.

To receive the discount, researchers must order the film during the registration period and work for an accredited academic institution. A complimentary sample may be obtained by contacting Sensor Products Inc. at .973.884.1755, by emailing info@sensorprod.com, or by visiting www.sensorprod.com/sample.

The film is a convenient medium for measuring interfacial stresses at joint surfaces, both physiological and prosthetic. When placed in the interface, Pressurex changes color in direct proportion to the actual pressure applied. The result is an instantaneous and permanent “topographical” image of pressure magnitude and distribution across the contact area. Precise pressure magnitude is easily determined by comparing color variation results to a color correlation chart (conceptually similar to interpreting Litmus paper). Pressurex conforms to curvaceous surfaces and can be hand or laser cut to specific shapes and dimensions.

“We are delighted to offer this discount that we hope will jumpstart new projects” says Jeffrey Stark, president of Sensor Products Inc. “Researchers set the stage for technical developments which we fully support.”
