Foreskin force shape variable measuring device and measuring method

The invention relates to a foreskin force-shaped variable measuring device and a measuring method, and in particular to a foreskin-forced shape variable measuring instrument capable of simultaneously measuring the pressure and deformation degree of the foreskin, and measuring the individual foreskin by using the measuring instrument The method of deformation.

The foreskin is the skin that coats the glans and protects the glans from damage. During infancy, the foreskin will be entirely covered on the outside of the glans and adhered to the glans and penis as a whole, to prevent the baby's glans from being strongly stimulated by the outside world. In childhood, as the penis expands and reverses, the foreskin naturally contracts, causing the foreskin to gradually loosen. As the growth progresses, the glans will gradually appear outside the foreskin.

Phimosis refers to an individual's foreskin opening that is too small or that the foreskin is inseparable from the penis and the glans, so that the glans cannot be exposed outside the foreskin. At present, the judgment of the severity of phimosis is mainly evaluated by visual inspection. There is no relevant measuring instrument for the physician to use, which makes it impossible to accurately measure the size of the foreskin and the degree of adhesion of the foreskin.

In addition, the inventor of the present invention previously proposed a novel foreskin molding Set (Republic of China patent application number: 102143939; application date: November 29, 102, Republic of China), to improve the phenomenon of individual phimosis. Therefore, in the case that the degree of phimosis of an individual can only be judged by the doctor's usual experience, it is often impossible to provide an appropriate foreskin molding device according to the degree of individual phimosis, and the individual needs to wear it repeatedly to obtain a suitable foreskin molding device. A defect not only reduces the smoothness of the medical procedure, but also causes unnecessary pain to the patient.

In view of this, there is a need in the art for a novel sheath-type force transducer to improve the deficiencies of the prior art.
