The Tewameter, manufactured by Courage+Khazaka, is not only the most widely acknowledged instrument for the measurement of the TEWL and the barrier function of the skin, but is furthermore used for measurements on the International Space Station ISS.
Moreover, the Tewameter Triple TM 330T is now available comprising three measuring heads and offering a multitude of advantages. With one probe measurements on three neighbouring skin areas can be done simultaneously under the same surrounding conditions. The probe with three heads is especially suitable for applications where large areas are measured (e.g. perspiration studies). Increased accuracy of measurement is due to averaging of the three values of the independent measuring heads. The instrument offers easy handling with the possibility of flexible adjustment of the single probe heads as well as the integration of the probe into the Multiprobe Adapter System.
