Measuring device intended to be placed in contact with a tissue and method for analyzing the measured tissue data

A tissue data analysis method implemented by a computer for analyzing tissue data relating to a tissue, the tissue data analysis method comprising the following steps:

• reception from a strain gauge of a measuring device a measurement of a force of resistance to deformation;
• reception from a position sensor of a measurement of an indentation depth representative of a displacement of an indenter relative to an original position;
• and
• association of a measurement of the indentation depth and a measurement of the force of resistance to deformation corresponding to the indentation depth, wherein the measuring device includes a support surface intended to be positioned in contact with the tissue and a case comprising:
• a first portion on which the indenter bears;
• and a second portion including the support surface and being connected to the first portion via at least one return element.

A measuring device intended to be placed in contact with a tissue, the measuring device comprising:

• a support surface intended to be positioned in contact with the tissue;
• an indenter configured to cause a deformation of the tissue, the indenter being configured to be displaceable relative to the support surface between an original position and an indentation position in which the tissue is deformed by the indenter;
• a strain gauge configured to measure a force of resistance of the tissue to the deformation caused by the indenter;
• a position sensor configured to measure an indentation depth representative of a displacement of the indenter between the original position and the indentation position, wherein the original position corresponds to a position of the indenter when it comes into contact with the tissue, wherein the strain gauge is configured to measure the force of resistance to deformation of the tissue according to a measuring axis, and wherein the indentation depth is measured according to the measurement axis, the measurement axis being substantially perpendicular to the support surface;
• a case comprising:
• a first portion on which the indenter bears;
• and
• a second portion including the support surface and being connected to the first portion via at least one return element.
