Diabetic Neuropathy Products

Peripheral neuropathy is the prime cause of diabetic foot ulceration. Ulceration, in turn, is the key factor that may precipitate a cascade of events leading to lower-extremity amputation. Checking the loss of Thermal Sense, Vibration sense and protective Touch Sense will help the management of diabetic neuropathy and its effect on the foot. Three important simple devices are packaged in the Neuropathy Assessment Kit (NA03) for the effective management of diabetic neuropathy. The kit contains a Tiptherm, a Vibratip and Monofilament 10gm(25 Nos). TIP THERM® is a simple device for the early diagnosis of symmetrical polyneuropathy by measuring the loss of temperature sensitivity of the skin. TIP THERM® was developed to give the clinician and patient a convenient and easy-to-use method of testing. This device is recommended to use, at a room temperature of 23° C. Failure to perceive variances in temperature in the extremities is the most decisive early symptom of distal symmetric polyneuropathy, a typical ailment accompanying diabetes mellitus (Ziegler 1988). Portable Vibration sense device VIBRATIPTM is a device resembling a small key fob that provides a near-silent vibration of consistent amplitude at a frequency similar to that of a calibrated tuning fork. It is intended for use when testing a person’s vibration perception during routine checks for diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) in people who have type 1 or type 2 diabetes. It is a disposable device works for about 250 patients, and vibrates at 125 Hz with an intensity equivalent to that of a Biothesiometer at 25 Volts. When the patient does not feel the vibration is classified as a high-risk category. MF10GM: Monofilaments 10gm is an effective, convenient, easy to use, relatively inexpensive way of testing for loss of protective touch sense in the feet. It is designed for single-patient use and can be used till 100 bends or filament damage.

Diabetic Foot Evaluation Lab

Our All-in-one Complete Diabetic Foot Lab model DIABETIK MINILAB is our one of the best products that can measure and document all the important parameters such as the Ankle Brachial Index(ABI), Toe Brachial Index(TBI), Doppler Waveform, Monofilament 10gm, Biothesiometry, Foot Pressure and Foot Temperature. In addition to the above reports, a master report is created by the software will capture the medical history with symptoms of the patient, dermatological exam, musculoskeletal exam, vascular and footwear exams along with the recorded test results and their interpretations. A colorful 6 pages report is generated by the software. The Diabetik Minilab is supplied with all the accessories and a sturdy trolley. An all-in-one scanner/copier/printer of a particular specification is supplied with the device. A Windows 7/8/10 operated laptop is to be arranged by the buyer. Vascular Screening: Whenever one suspects Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD), the clinician must perform a few non-invasive vascular testing methods that are commercially available and widely implemented. Features: • Unidirectional 8MHz probe • Photo-plethysmograph PPG Toe sensor • BP cuffs for ABI/TBI • Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) • Toe Brachial Index (TBI) • Doppler Velocity Waveform • Venous Examination (No documentation) • Carotid, Penile examination (No documentation) Neuropathy Screening: Diabetes can result in long-term health complications, with one of the most common being microvascular damage that leads to diabetic neuropathy (DN), which affects multiple body systems and increases amputation risk. A typical form of DN is diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), which is known to be a primary cause of balance issues, and sensation loss in the feet, and a major contributor to nontraumatic lower-limb amputations. Loss of sensation in the foot can be diagnosed with a 10gm Monofilament and a Biothesiometry. Semmes‐Weinstein monofilament test (SWMT): The SWMT is a common screening tool for assessing the sensory function and the loss of pressure sensation (light touch perception). A 10-gm monofilament test (also referred to as the 5.07 monofilament) is the most common in practice. 25 Nos of such monofilament in a box are supplied with the device. The filament is applied to at least six sites on the foot until it buckles, which occurs at 10 g of linear pressure when the patient is asked to detect its presence. If it is not detected on at least four out of six sites, then the protective sensation is considered to be lost. Biothesiometry: Vibration perception threshold (VPT) has been shown to be strongly associated with foot ulceration. VPT determination by using a Digital Biothesiometer has been used to identify peripheral sensory neuropathy and subjects at risk of the foot. Digital Biothesiometer helps us quantitate the threshold and monitor progressive changes or trends on following up testing. Sensory neuropathy increases the risk of foot ulcerations by seven-fold and peripheral arterial disease (PAD) by three folds in people with diabetes. Peripheral neuropathy is the major causal factor in the development of foot ulcerations among diabetic subjects. Early detection of vibration perception threshold (VPT) helps better prevention. Prevention is better than no cure. 50% of all non-traumatic amputations occur in diabetes which is a high-risk group. . Features: • First Company to introduce Digital Biothesiometry in India - 2003 • Digital 0 to 50 Volts indicator • Vibrator with Mute/Check & Record key • Full solid-state design Plantar Pressure measurement: Understanding foot biomechanics is an important component in the evaluation of diabetic foot. The abnormal plantar pressure distribution plays a key role in the formation of plantar calluses and diabetic foot ulcers. Abnormal value of foot pressure, as well as neuropathy, could play an important role in the formation of plantar ulcers independently. Current international guidelines advocate achieving at least a 30 % reduction in maximum plantar pressure to reduce the risk of foot ulcers in people with diabetes. Features: • Foot Imprinter Harris Mat FM1111 • Licensed software to scan and image process FM1111 foot image. • Report to include the footwear measurements. • Multi-color picture image indicates the pressure mapping. IR Foot Temperature measurement: Monitoring of skin temperatures at the foot, along with subsequent offloading can dramatically reduce the occurrence of ulcerations. The defined threshold reported in numerous studies is an asymmetrical difference of 4ºF (2.2°C) between the sites. Because most patients at risk for ulceration are also at risk for Charcot, monitoring foot temperature would be an effective tool. Features: • Simple one-handed operation • Laser targeting • oC / oF select switch, Accuracy +/- 2% • Early marker for Charcot foot • Can reduce the risk of ulceration.

General

An orchidometer is a medical instrument used to measure the volume of the testicles. Normal volume is 15 to 25 ml; the average is 18 cm³ per testis (range 12 cm³ to 30 cm³). The discrepancy of testicular size with other parameters of maturation can be an important clue to various diseases. Small testes can indicate either primary or secondary hypogonadism. Testicular size can help distinguish between different types of precocious puberty. Since testicular growth is typically the first physical sign of true puberty, one of the most common uses is as confirmation that puberty is beginning in a boy with delay. Large testes (macroorchidism) can be a clue to one of the most common causes of inherited generalized learning disability, fragile X syndrome..

Plantar Pressure Measurement Systems

Deformity due to the diabetic foot causes repetitive and excessive pressure to certain areas of the foot, which may result in ulcers and pains. Therefore, it is necessary to measure the pressure of the sole for the prevention and management of diabetic foot lesions. Early identification of feet 'at risk' for ulceration is important in preventing plantar lesions in diabetic patients with insensitive feet. Plantar pressures are higher in diabetic neuropathic patients than non-diabetic and non-neuropathic Counterparts. As high plantar pressure is a proven risk factor for foot ulceration, effective screening for high plantar pressures in diabetic patients could have a major influence on the incidence of diabetic foot ulceration. High plantar foot pressure has been identified as a significant risk factor for ulcerations. A large number of studies have suggested that plantar pressures are high in people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) and in people with a history of diabetic foot ulcers. Measurement of these foot pressures is possible utilizing a variety of modalities. Several computerized systems can provide quantitative measurement of plantar foot pressure. These measurements are important in identifying areas of the foot at risk for ulceration and possibly in the evaluation of orthotic adjustments. In order to identify high-risk patients in a clinical setting, a simple system for screening is needed which is easy to use, reliable and gives results that are easy to interpret and can be immediately available to both the patient and staff. Our Foot Imprinter Harris Mat FM1111 has been developed as a simple, inexpensive and practical foot pressure measurement device intended for routine clinical use. It is a semiquantitative footprint mat that quantifies plantar pressure by visual comparison between the greyness of the footprint. Features: • Measures and display patient weight disbursement in greyscale • Detects the area of the greatest concern for ulceration • Useful to identify Charcot arthropathy • Arch of the patient can be detected • More the darker color represent the high pressure • Excellent tool for motivating the patient to upgrade to a good footwear • Kit includes FI1111 mat, rubber roller, ink pad, Ink and prescription pad
