290 Sensory Testing & Tuning Forks Diaped ® VibraTip Diaped VibraTip is a wipe-clean, disposable, key fob sized device that provides a constant and reproducible source of vibration at 128Hz. Diaped VibraTip can be applied to the skin more gently, discretely, hygienically, and 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, explaining to the patient that 'this is touch one' and 'this is touch two' whilst randomly activating VibraTip on either the first or second touch. Product Features & Benefits: • A sensitive and specific assessment of vibration perception. • Provides a constant and 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. • Long lasting built-in battery will last for 6 months with normal use.
