Tekscan is a leading manufacturer of systems for pressure mapping and force measurement. The thin and conforming sensing mat can measure body pressure distribution with minimal interference of the support surface. Body pressure measurement system. The i scan is a versatile pressure measurement system that comes in tethered or wireless configurations has high speed scanning capabilities and can be modularized and extended with software or hardware add ons. The body pressure measurement system bpms is tekscans solution for body pressure mapping applications. All tekscan software works with current windows based operating systems.
The high spatial resolution of the bpms system measures and displays the high pressure areas in red as the subject is lying down back of head left scapula right elbow lower back and back of heels. Design optimization verify comfort. The system consists of data acquisition electronics sensors and software. Bpms measures the pressure distribution of a human body on support surfaces such as seats mattresses cushions and backrests. The system can compare competing mattress lines as well as perform comparative testing between different mattress surface materials such as spring foam latex and air. The thin flexible body pressure sensor dynamically measures interface pressure to help assess comfort design and ergonomics.
Tekscan systems provide critical force and pressure data in various environments including research and development quality assurance and testing as well as human and animal health care research settings worldwide. Tekscans body pressure measurement system bpms provides a means to quantify comfort on various mattress designs to improve support and pressure relief. This system can be configured to measure any size seating mattress or support surface. More than 200 of our standard pressure measuring sensors in various shapes and sizes can be used with this system.
