Hartmann Tuning Fork, Stainless Steel, 128 Hz
Part No.: MS-VW-372
Manufacturer: Manning Surgical
Country of Origin: United Kingdom
The Hartmann 128 Hz Tuning Fork is a precision diagnostic instrument manufactured from medical-grade stainless steel, engineered specifically for quantitative and qualitative neurological and otological examinations. Calibrated to resonate at a pure low frequency of 128 Hz, this instrument produces consistent acoustic vibrations and tactile resonance essential for assessing vibratory perception (pallesthesia) during peripheral neuropathy screenings, as well as executing Rinne and Weber auditory tests. Its stainless steel composition offers superior mechanical stability, prolonged vibration decay times, and high resistance to repeated thermal and chemical sterilization protocols, establishing it as a reliable standard for clinical diagnostics across neurology, otolaryngology, and primary care.
Features:
- Calibrated 128 Hz Low-Frequency Resonance: Precision-tuned to deliver an accurate 128 Hz frequency , optimized for detecting sensory nerve deficits in peripheral neuropathy and evaluating bone-conduction hearing pathways.
- Medical-Grade Stainless Steel Construction: Crafted from heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant stainless steel alloy that provides enhanced mass and structural integrity, maintaining frequency calibration longer than aluminum alternatives.
- Extended Vibration Decay Time: High-density tines maintain continuous tactile and acoustic oscillations over an extended period, allowing clinicians sufficient diagnostic time to assess sensory thresholds without frequent reactivation.
- Ergonomic Stem & Acoustic Base: Features a smooth, balanced handle with a widened contact foot for efficient acoustic energy transfer when applied to bony prominences such as the malleolus, sternum, or radial head.
- Multidisciplinary Diagnostic Utility: Indispensable for neurological sensory evaluations (e.g., early detection of diabetic distal symmetric polyneuropathy), otological hearing assessments (Rinne and Weber tests), and localized fracture resonance testing.
- Sterilization & Chemical Compatibility: Fully autoclavable and resistant to hospital-grade disinfectants, facilitating seamless integration into sterile clinical workflows and strict infection control protocols.
