In vivo skin anisotropy dataset for a young man (28 years old) by annular suction

The aim of our study is to characterize the anisotropic and viscoelastic behavior of the skin. Thus, a campaign of in vivo ring suction tests was conducted using the CutiScan®CS100 device from Courage and Khazaka electronics. 30 tests were performed on the anterior forearm of a 28-year-old Caucasian male at different pressure set-points ranging from 100 mbar to 500 mbar with an increment of 20 mbar. The dataset is primarily consisted of video files of the tests recorded by the CutiScan® probe-camera. After data treatment with digital image correlation technique based on a home-made Python program, we obtain secondary data tables and figures of 2D-displacement vectors at each grid point. These experimental data could be used to identify anisotropic and/or viscoelastic parameters.
