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.

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

Transcutaneous oxygen monitoring (TCOM / tcpO2) is a well-documented technique reflecting the nutritive flow in the capillaries. Today, TCOM / tcpO2 is commonly used in clinical applications such as wound-healing assessment, hyperbaric medicine, amputation-level determinations and more. Precise8001 offers the possibility to monitor the transcutaneous oxygen at the sites of interest. Features: • Fluorescence photo optical system and hence no membrane technology • No membrane and hence minimal operating cost • No pre-heating of sensor and self-automatic calibration while testing • Measurement time is less than 10 min • Automatic marking of end value • 10.1-inch large LCD touch screen Display • Displays the measurement process graphically and numerically • Integrated patient and measurement database • Oxygen partial pressure range of 0 to 2000 mmHg • Sensor temperature range 37 to 44 degree Celsius • Long enough 250cm(2.5meter) sensor cable for ease of placement • USB connection for Computer connection - Optional • Connects external memory for data transfer in txt format • Software for data transfer to computer - Optional • Standalone operation and operate with the computer if software purchased • Measurement is independent of skin pH and salt content • Weighs less than 3 kgs • Built-in rechargeable battery supports minimum 3 hours of operation • Unit works between 100Volts and 230Volts AC power supply • Truly portable

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.
