Biophysical and biochemical skin assessment

Measurements are taken from the skin surface including transepidermal water loss, skin hydration and pH. In addition, non-invasive biofluid (sebum) is sampled from the skin to profile local inflammation. Skin surface cells were also stripped to assess corneocyte properties over the pressure ulcer and surrounding healthy skin.
