Diagnostics & Education 28 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 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. Gently touch the patient's intact skin twice with the rounded tip of the Diaped VibraTip, each time for about half a second, explain- ing to the patient that 'this is touch one' and 'this is touch two' whilst randomly activating Diaped VibraTip on either the first or second touch. Features: ■ A sensitive and specific assessment of vibration perception ■ Provides a constant & reproducible source of vibration ■ Can be applied to skin more consistently than a tuning fork ■ Vibration stimulus extends further than point of pressure ■ Single stimulus in a discrete, pocket-sized device ■ Eliminates the need to carry around a heavy tuning fork ■ No visual or audible cue required - highly specific ■ Increased patient engagement - supports patient education ■ Quick and easy to use Domed, brushed stainless steel button with laser embossed device logo 6mm diameter spherical head for even contact over a wide range of application angles 50mm 25mm Shaped hole for key ring or chain Stainless steel button 6mm diameter spherical head for even contact over wide range of application angles 25mm 50mm Code Description NV0995 Vibratip The Neurothesiometer is used for the determination of vibration sensitivity threshold at any desired site on the body surface. Vibration ensitivity decreases naturally with age but a number of medical conditions can be related to abnormal deterioration. Applications: ■ Monitoring the progress of peripheral neuropathy which is associated with Diabetes ■ Observation of the reduction of vibration sensitivity in connection with other diseases ■ Routine recording of threshold sensitivity during podiatry leading to early diagnosis of disease or to susceptibility to conditions such as ulcers ■ 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 ■ 10 memories which may be reviewed by switching from Store to Review.
