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.

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.

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
