Application of rebound tonometer on skin surface pressure measurement: a pilot proof of concept study
This pilot study supports the technical feasibility of using a rebound tonometer for monitoring skin surface pressure dynamics during tissue expansion. The device demonstrated favorable operational efficiency, safety profile, and measurement reproducibility throughout the expansion period. These preliminary findings suggest that rebound tonometry may represent a promising monitoring approach in tissue expansion protocols, though larger-scale validation is warranted to substantiate these observations.
