Measurement of transepidermal water loss (TEWL) is widely used to characterize the water barrier function of skin, both in physiological and pathological conditions, to perform predictive irritancy tests, and to evaluate the efficacy of therapeutic treatments on diseased skin.

TRANSEPIDERMAL WATER LOSS IN PATIENTS WITH DERMATITIS
British Journal of Dermatology, 1969SUMMARY.— Using an electrolytic hygrometer, the Transepidermal Water Loss (T.W.L.) from the skin was measured in normal individuals and in patients with dermatitis (eczema). It was found that there was a close correlation between T.W.L. and the state of activity of the dermatitis; and that there was a gradual reduction in abnormally raised T.W.L.

Transepidermal water loss in the orphan forms of ichthyosis
Pediatric Dermatology, 2020AbstractAs a surrogate measure of skin barrier dysfunction, we sought to determine differences in transepidermal water loss (TEWL) among ichthyosis subtypes and correlate TEWL with clinical severity. Subjects with Netherton syndrome had the highest TEWL values (increased water loss), while TEWL values were lowest in subjects with epidermolytic ...

A comparison of techniques for the measurement of transepidermal water loss
Archives of Dermatological Research, 1982An Evaporimeter and a ventilated chamber technique have been compared in their ability to measure transepidermal water loss (TEWL) through rat skin. These techniques measure TEWL under very different conditions; the Evaporimeter measures the net TEWL under ambient relative humidity (RH) whereas the ventilated chamber employs a constant atmosphere ...

Measurements of Transepidermal Water Loss on Newborn Infants
Clinics in Perinatology, 1985Measurement of transepidermal water loss without disturbing the microclimate in the air layers above the skin has not been possible with previously available methods. The introduction of a new instrument, the Evaporimeter, for measuring the vapor pressure gradient above the skin surface meant that the evaporation of water from the skin could be ...

THE MEASUREMENT OF TRANSEPIDERMAL WATER LOSS
British Journal of Dermatology, 1969SUMMARY.— Transepidermal water loss has been measured at the equilibrium state, i.e. when it reached a constant value at a particular flow rate of dry gas passing over the skin. Measured in this way, transepidermal water loss from the skin is dependent on the rate of flow of the dry gas and the surface area of skin exposed to the flow.

Transepidermal water loss in the infant surgical patient
Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1981Evaporative water loss from skin of the newborn surgical patient is a critical factor in overall water balance and an important source of heat loss. We studied 15 infant surgical patients under the following clinical conditions: (1) exposed babies; (2) infants covered by cloth drapes and lying on a cloth blanket; (3) infants covered by a plastic drape ...

Transepidermal water loss and skin site: A hypothesis
International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 2009The skin has a unique barrier to the ingress of hazardous materials and the egress of water. The barrier properties of the skin reside in the outer 15 microm, the stratum corneum, which has often been regarded as rather inert or even dead. The excellent barrier properties of this thin layer result from its structure which comprises of pentagonal or ...

Continuous Transepidermal Water Loss Measurement in Sleeping Infants
Acta Paediatrica, 1987ABSTRACT. Transepidermal water evaporation rate was measured continuously in 8 infants with the use of an evaporimeter during one night of polygraphic sleep recording. Evaporation rates were significantly lower during REM than during NREM sleep.

Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL)
2013The epidermal barrier is the outermost part of our body, or more precisely, of our skin. Approximately 90 % of the barrier function can be attributed to the stratum corneum. The importance of the epidermal barrier and more specifically the stratum corneum with its major components the corneocytes, the intercorneal bilamellar lipids, and the cornified ...
