Product Description:

Key Features & Benefits:

• Classic Gardiner Brown Design: This renowned design ensures optimal balance and resonance, producing clear and sustained tones for effective diagnostic use.

• High-Quality Surgical Steel Construction: Made from premium surgical steel, this tuning fork is built for durability, longevity, and consistent performance in demanding clinical environments. Its robust material ensures high-quality vibration transmission.

• Integrated Base Plate: Features a dedicated base plate, making it ideal for the standard Rinne and Weber tests. This design facilitates secure and accurate placement on bony prominences (like the mastoid process or forehead) for reliable bone conduction testing.

• Versatile Diagnostic Tool: Primarily used for:

  • Hearing Assessment: Crucial for conducting Rinne and Weber tests to differentiate between conductive and sensorineural hearing loss.

  • Neurological Examination: Essential for evaluating vibration sensation, aiding in the diagnosis of conditions such as peripheral neuropathy.

  • Musculoskeletal Assessment: Can be used to assess joint integrity and identify potential stress fractures or other bone-related issues by detecting vibration feedback.

• Electronically Tuned Frequencies: Each tuning fork is precisely tuned to specific frequencies, ensuring accuracy and consistent performance across various tests.

Available Frequencies:

This medical tuning fork is available in a range of essential frequencies to meet diverse diagnostic needs:

• 128 Hz (C0): Commonly used for testing vibration sensation in neurological examinations, as its lower frequency resonates well with tissues and bones.

• 256 Hz (C1): A versatile frequency used in both hearing tests and for assessing vibration.

• 512 Hz (C2): Often the primary frequency for Rinne and Weber hearing tests, due to its clear tone and excellent auditory perception.

• 1024 Hz (C3): Useful for higher-frequency auditory assessments.

This medical-grade tuning fork is a cost-effective, portable, and highly reliable instrument trusted by healthcare professionals for rapid, accurate assessments and diagnoses.
