Hartmann Tuning Fork with Weights, Stainless Steel, 256 Hz
Part No.: MS-VW-371
Manufacturer: Manning Surgical
Country of Origin: United Kingdom
The Hartmann Tuning Fork (256 Hz with Weights) is a precision acoustic diagnostic instrument designed for neurological and otolaryngological assessments. Calibrated to a fundamental frequency of 256 Hz, this stainless steel instrument is specifically engineered for qualitative hearing evaluations, including Weber and Rinne tests, as well as peripheral sensory vibration testing. The addition of removable weights lowers the fundamental tone, attenuates higher-frequency overtones, and increases inertial momentum, resulting in a sustained, low-frequency vibration optimal for clear acoustic propagation and tactile perception.
Features:
- Precision Calibration (256 Hz): Tuned accurately to 256 Hz, the standard clinical frequency for distinguishing conductive from sensorineural hearing loss.
- Weighted Prongs: Equipped with dual weights attached to the tines to suppress high-pitched harmonics, stabilize vibration, and deliver a clean, sustained pure tone.
- Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel Construction: Manufactured from high-tensile, corrosion-resistant stainless steel to ensure dimensional stability, structural durability, and long-term frequency accuracy under frequent clinical use.
- Sterilization-Compatible: Non-porous metal finish allows for easy cleaning and compatibility with standard medical disinfectants and autoclaving protocols.
