Abstrakt: A segmented thermal clearance probe modified from similar heated thermocouple devices adapted for non-invasive application, is described. This instrument responds rapidly to changes in the nutrient skin bloodflow in the papillary dermis to a depth of 1.5 mm. It differentiates nutrient from total skin bloodflow. The dimensions of its components can be modified in order to assess bloodflow changes at different depths depending on different experimental or clinical requirements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
