The R&D teams as Flinders Medical Centre are continuously developing newer and affordable technologies to cater to the healthcare sector.
We are approached by clinicians, manufacturers and care givers to develop medical technologies.
We also seek partnerships from manufacturers to have products designed and developed with an aim of commercialising the idea.
These are some of the products already developed in the FMC:
- Indurometers measure the resistance of material to indentation (compression). Materials that may be tested include foams (mattresses), fruit and gels (breast implants, bicycle seats, etc).
- Like many soft materials, living tissue lends itself to measurement with indurometers (although indurometers are not dedicated for use on tissue). Other researchers have trialled Indurometers for objectively measuring the response of tissue to thumb pressure, and for the assessment of scar formation after burns and for assessing the progression of sclerosis.
