VibraTip a wipe-clean, pocket-sized and disposable device for testing vibration sense. Vibration sense is typically one of the first sensory modalities to be impaired as peripheral neuropathy develops. Graduated tuning forks (e.g. Reidel-Seiffer) and calibrated electronic devices (e.g. Neurothesiometer, Bio-Thesiometer Vibrometer) are recommended to quantify the integrity of vibration sensation. VibraTip is a wipe-clean, disposable, key fob-sized device that provides a constant and reproducible source of vibration. The spherical head facilitates application from any angle and its pocket size means that it is easy to carry and therefore likely to be available at the point of use.

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.

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.

The Durometer is commonly also known as Shore Meter. There are two variants in this Shore Meter. They are Shore Meter A and Shore meter D. Shore durometer A is a device for measuring the hardness of soft material, typically of polymers, elastomers, and rubbers. Shore Meter D is mainly for hard materials like plastics, steel etc., We are distributing Shore Meter A and all the discussions and descriptions are about them only. Higher numbers on the scale indicate a greater resistance to indentation and thus harder materials. Lower numbers indicate less resistance and softer materials. Durometer measurement scales range from 0 to 100 and simply represent a relative comparison of hardness difference. The durometer has shown consistent reliability in the objective assessment of skin hardness in patients with systemic sclerosis and localized scleroderma. It is an easy-to-use and simple method, which can provide a correct numeric evaluation of hypertrophic scars induration and objective control of therapeutic efficacy during treatment over time. Determination of skin hardness by this instrument has been proven to be accurate and reproducible, both in normal and pathological conditions. Increased foot sole hardness and peripheral neuropathy are suggested to be important risk factors for foot ulceration. In subjects with diabetes, it was found in numerous research that differences and variations in foot sole hardness were found to be significantly different in subjects with and without diabetic neuropathy using Durometer (Shore meter). Hence shore meter was more sensitive and provided a feasible means of measuring foot sole hardness in subjects with diabetic neuropathy. Foot sole hardness in diabetic feet can be considered as a potential determinant of foot sole ulcerations. The durometer has potential use in many dermatological disorders as a tool to be used routinely to demonstrate improvement in treatment, particularly in burn patients where cosmetic appearance and functional status represent major concerns for the patient.

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is being increasingly recommended for routine clinical practice. It may be particularly useful in evaluating the patient with variable blood pressure readings in the office, or the patient with wide discrepancies between the blood pressure readings at home and the clinician's office (ie, "white coat" hypertension). ABPM and, in particular, nocturnal blood pressure readings, may also provide prognostic data. Ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) monitoring involves measuring blood pressure (BP) at regular intervals (usually every 15–30 minutes) over a 24 hour period while patients undergo normal daily activities, including sleep. . What are the indications? • Suspected white-coat hypertension (including in pregnancy) • Suspected masked hypertension • Suspected nocturnal hypertension or no night time reduction in BP (dipping) • Hypertension despite appropriate treatment • Patients with a high risk of future cardiovascular events (even if clinic BP is normal) • Suspected episodic hypertension • Prolonged Diabetes Supplied with unit, Adult BP cuff, Wide BP cuff for obese patients and software.

One of the frequent causes of non-traumatic lower-limb amputation is Diabetes and is usually preceded by foot ulcer and infection. The reason of this ulceration is commonly a loss of protective sensation due to peripheral neuropathy, for which there is no prevention strategy. Current research promotes early detection of neuropathy so that secondary prevention measures, such as intensive foot-care education and treatment, can be used for individuals. In an effort to standardize and simplify the detection of insensate foot, the 5.07/10-gm Monofilament is recommended by the International Diabetes Federation and the World Health Organization as a device that can be used by health professionals at every level of care. A standardised filament is pressed against part of the foot. When the filament bends, its tip is exerting a pressure of 10 grams (therefore this monofilament is often referred to as the 10 gram monofilament). If the patient cannot feel the monofilament at certain specified sites on the foot, he/she has lost enough sensation to be at risk of developing a neuropathic ulcer.
