Recent clinical investigations suggest that the application of a function-integrative fabric could have a positive impact on currently applied diagnostic procedures of a specific type of tumour. In this context, the fabric should enable local warming of a patient\u2019s upper extremity as well as blood flow measurement. Existing solutions comprise a warming system but lack a measuring apparatus for blood flow determination. With regard to the quality of results of current diagnostic procedures, the local warming of the patients\u2019 upper extremity and the simultaneous determination of the blood flow plateau are crucial. In the present paper, the development process of a function-integrative sleeve is introduced. Besides the development of an adaptable sleeve-design, the manufacturing process of an integrated warming system was also addressed. Furthermore, the identification of crucial physiological effects, using a Laser Doppler Perfusion Monitor, is introduced. During testing of the function-integrative sleeve, modulation of the desired physiological effects was observed. The results support the initial assumptions and dictate further investigations on increasing user-friendliness and cost-efficiency during adjusting and determining the physiological effects in the course of tumour diagnosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s19112588","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,7]],"date-time":"2019-06-07T03:56:31Z","timestamp":1559879791000},"page":"2588","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Development of a Function-Integrative Sleeve for Medical Applications"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1992-2374","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Moritz","family":"Neubauer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Lightweight Engineering and Polymer Technology (ILK), Technische Universit\u00e4t Dresden, 01307 Dresden, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5906-8670","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eric","family":"H\u00e4ntzsche","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Textile Machinery and High Performance Material Technology (ITM), Technische Universit\u00e4t Dresden, 01307 Dresden, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0772-1604","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christina","family":"Pamporaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine III &amp; Institute of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine, Medical Faculty and University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus, Technische Universit\u00e4t Dresden, University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus at the Technische Universit\u00e4t Dresden, 01307 Dresden, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8601-9903","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Graeme","family":"Eisenhofer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine III &amp; Institute of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine, Medical Faculty and University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus, Technische Universit\u00e4t Dresden, University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus at the Technische Universit\u00e4t Dresden, 01307 Dresden, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1799-9573","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Martin","family":"Dannemann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Lightweight Engineering and Polymer Technology (ILK), Technische Universit\u00e4t Dresden, 01307 Dresden, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7698-9095","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andreas","family":"Nocke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Textile Machinery and High Performance Material Technology (ITM), Technische Universit\u00e4t Dresden, 01307 Dresden, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2834-8933","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Niels","family":"Modler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Lightweight Engineering and Polymer Technology (ILK), Technische Universit\u00e4t Dresden, 01307 Dresden, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0311-1745","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Angelos","family":"Filippatos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Lightweight Engineering and Polymer Technology (ILK), Technische Universit\u00e4t Dresden, 01307 Dresden, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"458","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-9610(60)90141-0","article-title":"Pheochromocytoma in the adult and in the child","volume":"99","author":"Hume","year":"1960","journal-title":"Am.
