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.

Neurolite Therapy is a medical device that emits infrared light at a wavelength of 890 nm along with LED light at a wavelength of 660nm, and can be applied to any area of the body, which may provide a relief for the patients. Neurolite Therapy device helps the patient if they can use early on to relieve pain, increase microcirculation, promote healing and relieve muscle spasm, it is possible to decrease pain levels, decrease the number of falls, the number of injuries and the necessity for amputations. It is also possible to increase the patient’s level of activities and quality of life, (due to reduction in pain) as well as overall patient compliance and satisfaction. Features: • Infra-red LED and RED led activated • Continuous or Pulsed operation • Increase vascular efficacy • Stimulate the production of collagen • Stimulate the release of adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP) • Stimulate fibroblastic activity • Stimulate tissue granulation and connective tissue projections • Stimulate acetylcholine release • Reduce the excitability of nervous tissue • Benefits Pain and Numbness in Extremities • Selective wavelengths for improved result • Built-in timer stops the therapy automatically • Stimulate the production of collagen • Increase lymphatic system activity • Stimulate tissue granulation and connective tissue projections

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.
