Thermal mud evaluation by TVS model

A tensiometric model suitable for direct and non invasive skin evaluation, and topical systems evaluation was developed. The model is known as TVS model, which is the acronym of Tensiometric Versus Skin. By TVS model, bioadhesive thermal mud can be designed, and its functional effect directly evaluated on the forearm-skin after topical application (figure 2). Figure 2 An explicative example carried out by OTP during mud-therapy in Terme Euganee area by using bioadhesive typical thermal mud is reported.
