Force sensing resistors (FSR) may have useful application in the hand hygiene project. A quick search of the internet revealed several companies specializing in force sensing resistors. Outlined below are names of manufacturers, pricing, dimensions and other relevant information for a range of resistors. Once the “puck” design has progressed, the required FSR dimensions may be more obvious. Some of the prefabricated resistors listed below may fit our needs and be more cost effective. Otherwise, custom orders can be made.
