Diaped Vibratip Vibration Sense is typically one of the first sensory modalities to be impaired as peripheral neuropathy develops. Diaped VibraTip™ is a wipe-clean, disposable, key fob-sized device that provides a constant and reproducible source of vibration. Diaped VibraTip can be applied to the skin more gently, more discretely, more consistently, more hygienically and more rapidly than a tuning fork. Vibration stimulus from Diaped VibraTip extends further than point pressure and is less affected by local skin characteristics such as the presence of callus. Diaped Vibratip in Clinic The spherical head facilities application from any angle and easy to carry and therefore likely to be available at the point of use. By gently touching the patient's intact skin twice with the rounded tip of the Diaped VibraTip, each time for about half a second, explaining that 'this is touch one' and 'this is touch two' whilst randomly activating Diaped VibraTip on either the first or second touch, a sensitive and specific assessment of vibration perception obtained. Features: zz Provides a constant & reproducible source of vibration. zz Can be applied to skin more consistently than a tuning fork. zz Vibration stimulus extends further than point of pressure. zz Single stimulus in a discrete, pocket-sized device. zz Eliminates the need to carry around a heavy tuning fork. zz No visual or audible cue required - highly specific. zz Increased patient engagement - supports patient education. zz Quick and easy to use. Shaped hole for key ring or chain 6mm diameter spherical head for even contact over wide range of 6mm diameterangles spherical applicationover a widehead for even contact range of application angles Domed, brushed Stainless steel button Code Description NV0995 25mm 25mm stainless steel button with laser embossed device logo Diaped Vibratip 50mm 50mm Neurothesiometer The Neurothesiometer has applications in: zz Monitoring the progress of peripheral neuropathy which is associated with Diabetes. zz Observation of the reduction of vibration sensitivity in connection with other diseases. zz Routine recording of threshold sensitivity during chiropody leading to early diagnosis of disease or to susceptibility to conditions such as ulcers. zz The study of the effects of treatment on neuropathy and associated or causative conditions. zz Pharmacological and medical research projects involving relatively low costs. Design features: zz Digital display of volts applied to the vibrator or free air movement of the vibrating head in microns. zz Range expansion: The voltage applied to the vibrator is adjusted by a rotary knob. The range may be switched to Normal = 0 to 50 volts/0-250 microns AND Expanded = 0 to 25 volts/0-62.5 microns. zz Ten memories which may be reviewed by switching from Store to Review. Advance Memory scrolls through all ten in turn. Battery pack: Life at 50V continuous output 1.25 hours Life at 20V continuous output 1.75 hours Chargers sold separately.
