Abstract
A device (V) for fixing at least one fibrous strip (FB) to a body part (K), wherein the fibrous strip comprises at least one fibre (F) embodied as a fibre-optic bending sensor, has at least one fixing unit (BE) which respectively has (a) a fixing part (BM) for applying part of the fibrous strip to the body part, and (b) at least one fixing loop (BS) for guiding the fibrous strip along an axis of a three-dimensional space. The fixing loop can be fixed to the body part.
Claims20
A device for fixing at least one fibrous strip to a body part, wherein the fibrous strip comprises at least one fiber which is embodied as a fiber optic bending sensor, the device comprising
- at least one fixing unit,
- wherein the respective fixing unit
- comprises a fixing means for attaching a part of the fibrous strip to the body part and
- at least one fixing loop for guiding the fibrous strip within an axis of a three-dimensional space, wherein the fixing loop is operable to be fixed to the body part.
A method for producing a device for fixing two fibrous strips in a parallel arrangement by means of a base material comprising a support material and an adhesive material arranged on an underside of the support material to a body part, comprising the following steps:
- forming two loop-shaped tubes from one loop shape tube such that the adhesive material is located on the outer side of the respective tube,
- gluing the two loop-shaped tubes in the longitudinal direction in a parallel arrangement to the upper side of the fixing support formed by the base material, wherein the fixing support is operable to attach the device to a body part,
- attaching in the longitudinal direction a further expandable material in the form of the base material with the aid of the adhesive material, above the fixing support provided with the two loop-shaped tubes.
A method for fixing at least one fibrous strip to a body part, wherein the fibrous strip comprises at least one fiber which is embodied as a fiber optic bending sensor, the method comprising the steps of
- attaching a part of the fibrous strip to the body part by fixing means, and
- guiding the fibrous strip within an axis of a three-dimensional space by at least one fixing loop, wherein the fixing loop is operable to be fixed to the body part.
