Abstract Objective To produce flexible sensors with coaxial printing technology,achieve real-time monitoring of limb circumference and provide continuous monitoring for patients with acute myofascial compartment syndrome and lower extremity deep vein thrombosis in highrisk groups or in the early course of the disease.Methods High-purity gallium-indium alloy and polydimethylsiloxane were used to make cables,and STC89C52 micro-controller as the main control chip was used to design the output and alarm devices.The relationship between the tensile degree of the cable and the change in resistance was verified,and the relationship among the tensile degree,the resistance value and the change in the output value were also explored.We verifed the credibility of the result in the balloon and in the healthy people.Results The cable stretch degree-resistance change curve was continuous.The resistance increases with the increase of stretch degree,and the resistance measurement value was statistically significant when different thicknesses of silica gel strips were stretched by 200%.After connecting the output device,the output value increased with increasing resistance.Under the 10Ω alarm threshold,the stretch degree of the same cable was similar,and statistically significant among different cables.Limb expansion was similuated with balloon expansion and healthy human limb movement.Repeated experiments showed same trend of monitor reading changes with circumference changes.Conclusion The flexible sensor made by applying coaxial printing technology can quickly and accurately reflect the changes in the circumference of the subject’s limb,which has good application prospects and provides ideas for the early diagnosis and monitoring of related diseases.
