Hartmann Tuning Fork, Stainless Steel, 512 Hz
Part No.: MS-VW-374
Manufacturer: Manning Surgical
Country of Origin: United Kingdom
The Hartmann Tuning Fork (512 Hz) is a precision acoustic diagnostic instrument engineered for otological, neurological, and general medical evaluations. Fabricated from surgical-grade stainless steel, this unweighted instrument generates a pure, stable 512 Hz tone essential for evaluating air and bone conduction during standard Weber and Rinne hearing tests. Its balanced structural geometry minimizes harmonic distortion while providing sustained vibration times and effective acoustic energy transfer when applied to bony prominences such as the mastoid process or vertex.
Features:
- Calibrated Acoustic Precision: Calibrated to oscillate at a precise fundamental frequency of 512 Hz, producing a clean acoustic tone specifically suited for audiological diagnostic testing without overtone interference.
- Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel Construction: Forged from durable, corrosion-resistant stainless steel to ensure long-term structural integrity, thermal resistance, and acoustic frequency stability.
- Unweighted Tine Configuration: Designed with solid, parallel prongs that deliver rapid sound excitation and clear acoustic propagation upon activation.
- Autoclavable & Chemical-Resistant: Fully compatible with standard medical sterilization methods, including steam autoclaving and chemical disinfectants, for strict hygiene maintenance.
- Clinical Diagnostic Utility: Serves as a standard diagnostic tool in ENT and neurology clinics for differentiating conductive versus sensorineural hearing impairment.
