Abstract:
Disclosed herein are embodiments of methods of inspection and manufacture of flexible printed circuit boards and flexible sensor sheets, and apparatuses such as wound dressing components utilizing the same. The methods can comprise applying a coating material to a flexible printed circuit board, wherein the coating material comprises a material that will fluoresce when exposed to UV or visible light and the flexible printed circuit board comprises one or more electronic components. The coated flexible printed circuit board can be positioned under UV or visible light to cause the coating material to fluoresce.
