Integration of GelDerm with commercial dressings. A) GelDerm was integrated with Mepitel; the red and blue squares on the film are reference color markers used for correcting the grayscale intensity and eliminating the effect of lighting condition in the environment on the detected pH. Inset shows GelDerm/Mepitel placed on a piece of pig skin showing good adhesion to the tissue under bending. B) Image sequences demonstrating image capture and processing using iDerm. C) Images of GelDerm/Mepitel dressings placed on the dermis and epidermis layers of pig skin sprayed with different pH values; color change in pH sensors can be correlated to pH change of the skin and can also be observed visually. D) Dehydration of GelDerm/Mepitel as compared to GelDerm alone, showing a significant reduction in the dehydration of GelDerm when it was used with the commercial dressing. Error bars represent the SD (n = 3); **p < 0.005.
