Neuropathy Assessment Kit – NA03

We have packaged three important simpler devices for the effective management of diabetic neuropathy. They are Tiptherm – 1No, Vibratip – 1No and Monofilament 10gm – 25 Nos.

TIPTHERM is an innovative diagnostic device used for the early detection of symmetrical polyneuropathy by measuring temperature sensitivity of the skin. It was designed to provide a convenient and user-friendly method for clinicians and patients to assess changes in skin temperature sensitivity.

Here’s how TIPTHERM works:

• Function: The device measures temperature sensitivity up to 23°C, helping to identify abnormalities in thermal perception that may indicate neuropathy.

• Application: By assessing the skin’s response to different temperatures, TIPTHERM helps in the early diagnosis of conditions like diabetic neuropathy, where thermal sensitivity may be compromised.

The simplicity and ease of use make TIPTHERM an effective tool for monitoring and managing neuropathic conditions, enabling timely intervention and better patient care.

VIBRATIP is a compact, key fob-like device designed for assessing vibration perception, a crucial aspect of detecting diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). It generates a near-silent vibration with a consistent amplitude and frequency similar to that of a calibrated tuning fork.

Here’s how VIBRATIP is used:

• Purpose: It is employed during routine evaluations to measure a person’s ability to sense vibrations, which can indicate the presence of peripheral neuropathy in individuals with type 1 or type 2 diabetes.

• Function: The device’s vibration mimics the frequency of a tuning fork, providing a reliable and standardized method for testing vibration perception.

• Design: Its small, key fob-like design makes it portable and convenient for both clinical settings and self-assessment.

VIBRATIP helps in the early detection and management of DPN by offering a straightforward and effective tool for monitoring changes in vibration sensitivity.

Monofilaments are an effective, convenient, easy to use, relatively inexpensive way of testing for loss of protective sensation in the feet in daily clinical practice.
