Medical tuning forks

Medical tuning forks

Areas of use and fields of application

Medical tuning forks are used to examine the peripheral nervous system, to differentiate vibration and bone conduction perceptions, and for functional analysis in everyday clinical practice. Typical application situations include neurological sensitivity tests, screening examinations of sensitivity and the evaluation of sound sensations during simple functional checks. The devices support precise and reproducible findings through defined frequencies and a stable stop.

Product types and properties

The category includes tuning forks with different features: classic tube tuning forks, double-sprung models, tuning forks with fixed frequencies (e.g. 128 Hz, 256 Hz) as well as tuning fork-based test sets including holding devices and protective covers. Important properties are precise frequency stability, corrosion-resistant materials, easily tactile stop segments and, if necessary, color coding for quick selection.

• Pipe tuning forks (different frequencies)
• Tuning forks with test attachments or rubber buffers
• Sets with protective cover and measuring accessories
• Robust, easy-to-disinfect versions

Quality, hygiene and practicality

Medical tuning forks should be made of high quality alloys and designed to be easy to clean and disinfect. Sterilizable or wipeable surfaces increase practical suitability. A clear advantage is the long service life when used properly as well as the easy handling, which enables quick examinations.

Benefit in the workflow

Offer through standardized frequencies and robust designs Medical tuning forks a reliable, portable solution for sensitivity testing. They support structured examination processes, reduce the scope for interpretation through reproducible vibration frequencies and can be stored in a space-saving manner. Combinations with additional test material optimize efficiency and safety in routine operations.
