Abstract: A sensor suitable for measuring the pressure applied by a bandage, the sensor being in the form of an elongate strip having a plurality of pads arranged along its length, wherein the sensor includes a connection to each pad, whereby the pressure applied to each pad can be determined independently, wherein each pad is inflatable to form an expanded pad protruding above the surface of the strip, and deflatable so that it does not impede removal of the sensor from the bandage. Such a sensor is primarily intended for single use, i.e. is disposable.
