Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to investigate if wound dressings are capable in reducing the effects of shear- force at the skin. With our own shear- force model we are able to apply 19 Newton shear- force combined with 9 newton pressure at the skin of the non- dominant forearm. After half an hour we measure IL-1alpha/ total protein- ratio, cutaneous blood flow (Laser doppler, Moor LDI) and the erythema index (DSMIIColormeter) which occurs as an effect of shear- force application at the skin.

Then, we apply 19 Newton shear- force combined with 9 Newton pressure at the dominant fore-arm but this time we put a wound dressing between the skin and shear- force model. After half an hour we measure the IL-1alpha/total protein-ratio, cutaneous blood flow and the erythema index.

This research consists of three research day, each day we are going to investigate a different wound dressing
