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..

Neuropathy Screening Products

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). Small-fiber Test (HCP) provides an easy-to-use and scientifically validated measure of warm, cool and heat pain thermal sensory thresholds, all clinically useful determinants in the evaluation of diabetic neuropathy. 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-folds 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 helps better prevention. Prevention is better than no cure. 50% of all non-traumatic amputations occur in diabetes who is a high-risk group. Our Neuropathy Analyser model Vibrotherm Dx has inbuilt both VPT and HCP in a single device. The Windows 7/8/10 supported software supplied helps to capture the VPT, COLD, HOT and Monofilament 10gm testing for storage and a patient report. FEATURES: • Full solid-state design with PC enabled • Easy Tool to quantify Neuropathy • Digital Biothesiometer VPT and Thermometry HCP combined • Digital 0 ~ 50 Volts Vibration output • 1 ~ 50o C temperature output range • 1o C rate of change per second • Remote keypad helps easy operation • Single probe delivers both Hot & Cold temperatures • Automatic interpretation based on set reference values • Early detection of Small Fiber Neuropathy • Software supports Windows Win 7 / Win 8 / Win10 computer • Patient report storage, export, pdf options available • USB interface

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

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.

Neuropathy Screening Products

In diabetes mellitus, polyneuropathy is an important complication and should be diagnosed as early as possible in order to prevent damage to the patient. Determination of warm, cold, and heat pain thresholds enables one to judge small nerve fibre sensitivity. 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). The Thermometry HCP may be used on patients with neurological diseases (especially peripheral neuropathy). The system is designed to measure and store patient responses to a series of thermal stimuli, but does not make any diagnosis. The test results should be used with the results of other medically accepted tests in order to assist the physician in making a final diagnosis. The product is highly accurate and truly calibrated to produce repeatable results. When the patients are properly explained and instructed before the testing, the results of the tests are highly sensitive, specific, and quantified. Features: • Full solid state Design PC enabled • Non invasive testing of pain thresholds • Range : 10 C to 500 C (Restricted for the purpose of safety) • Rate of change : 0.50 C per second for Hot/Cold • Helps to find Cool, Warm, Hot, and Cold Perception Thresholds • Data storage on Personal Computer. • Easy operation with hand remote • Helps detecting Diabetic Polyneuropathy at an early stage
