Abstract
A device (1) for use in measuring and/or analyzing at least one parameter of an external portion of a body comprises at least one surface (3) configured to be placed in the vicinity of said external portion. The device is either a) configured to be able to be modeled over said external portion and made of a material comprising inorganic material, or b) configured to not be able to be modeled over said external portion and made essentially of at least, one inorganic material. When the device (1) is configured to not be able to be modeled, and when material defining the surface (3) is not in at least one of a fibrous form and a particulate form, the surface comprises an inorganic material other than glass.
