INSA Wound Mapping System: II. Preliminary Porcine Results *

In the first paper, a versatile wound monitoring system, capable of mapping the extent of a wound and characterizing the tissues involved without removing the dressing, was presented. This was achieved through electrical impedance measurements, made via an electrode matrix embedded within the wound dressing.In this second paper, we present early mapping results obtained on porcine models. It was found that there was a good correlation between wound areas derived using digital image planimetry and those using a 49-electrode impedimetric electrode array.
