Hartmann Tuning Fork with Weights, Stainless Steel, C 64 Hz
Part No.: MS-VW-369
Manufacturer: Manning Surgical
Country of Origin: United Kingdom
The Hartmann Tuning Fork with Weights (Stainless Steel, C 64 Hz) is a precision sub-audible diagnostic instrument engineered specifically for specialized neurological evaluations and advanced otological testing. Calibrated precisely to a low fundamental frequency of C 64 Hz, this instrument is primarily utilized in neurological practice to evaluate pallesthesia—specifically assessing deep vibratory perception thresholds in the diagnosis of large-fiber peripheral neuropathies, such as diabetic polyneuropathy or posterior column dysfunction. Constructed from high-grade, surgical-grade stainless steel with fitted damper weights on the prongs, it delivers a pure, prolonged low-frequency somatosensory vibration with virtually no overtone interference, ensuring highly reproducible diagnostic accuracy across bone-conduction surface testing.
Features:
- Calibrated C 64 Hz Fundamental Resonance: Precision-tuned to an ultra-low 64 Hz frequency optimized for stimulating deep somatic Pacinian corpuscles during sensory vibratory threshold testing.
- Integrated Overtone Dampening Weights: Features adjustable or fixed weights mounted near the distal tips of the prongs to eliminate higher harmonic overtones and sustain long vibration decay times.
- Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel Construction: Manufactured from premium, stainless steel, offering superior structural mass, thermal stability, and corrosion resistance compared to aluminum equivalents.
- Targeted Neurological Assessment Tool: Essential clinical tool for detecting early-stage peripheral nerve damage, dorsal column lesions, and diabetic vibratory sense impairment.
- Full Sterilization Compatibility: Highly resistant to medical-grade liquid disinfectants, enzymatic detergents, and standard steam autoclave sterilization cycles without compromising pitch accuracy.
