MEDİKAL VE TEKSTİL UYGULAMALARINA YÖNELİK YENİ BİR DİNAMİK TABANLI BASINÇ ÖLÇÜM TEST CİHAZININ PROTOTİP İMALATI

Öz

Günümüzdeki müşteriler giydikleri kıyafetlerin estetik özelliklerinin yanı sıra rahatlık ve sağlıkları ile uyumunu da önemsemektedirler. Bu yüzden imalatçılar, teknolojik yenilikleri takip ederek ürün yeterliliklerini test etmek ve ürünlerin sağlık üzerine etkilerini değerlendirebilmek için test cihazları imal etmekte ve pazara sunmaktadırlar. Çalışmada, insan bacakları ve streç giysilerin etkileşiminden kaynaklanan basıncı ölçmek için yeni bir basınç ölçüm test cihazının tasarım, geliştirme ve prototip üretim aşamaları anlatılmaktadır. Dizden bükülebilen ve dinamik olarak hareket edebilen bu cihaz piyasada bulunan cihazlarla karşılaştırıldığında yenilikçi özelliklere sahiptir. Cihazın seri üretime geçmesinin ardından giysilerin insan vücuduna uyguladığı basınç seviyeleri ölçülebilecektir. Böylelikle kumaşların vücut fizyolojisine etkisinin yanı sıra kan akışına/tansiyona etkileri de somut verilerle değerlendirilebilecektir.

PROTOTYPE MANUFACTURING OF A NEW DYNAMIC-BASED PRESSURE MEASUREMENT TEST DEVICE FOR MEDICAL AND TEXTILE APPLICATIONS

Abstract

Customers nowadays demand that their clothes be comfortable and suitable for their health in addition to the aesthetic features of the clothes they wear. Therefore, manufacturers following technological innovations to test their product capability are putting those devices on the market to measure the impact on health. The study describes the design, development, and prototype manufacturing stages of a new pressure measurement test device for measuring the pressure resulting from the interaction of human legs and stretch garments. The device can bend from the knee and move dynamically which has innovative aspects compared to the ones commercially available. After mass production of the device, it might be possible to measure the pressure levels of the garments to the human body, therefore, the effects of the fabrics on blood pressure in addition to body physiology can be evaluated with concrete values.
