Is this frequency suitable for neurological assessments?
Yes, the 256 cps frequency is a professional standard frequency frequently used in both ear, nose, and throat (ENT) examinations and general neurological assessments to test vibration sensitivity and hearing.
Is the handle designed for a steady clinical grip?
The tuning fork features a smooth, slender handle that is ergonomically designed to provide a comfortable and secure grip, allowing for precise control during examination procedures.
How long is the tuning fork?
The total length of this tuning fork is 200 mm, which provides an optimal balance for handling while maintaining the mass required for sustained vibration.
Can this be used alongside other diagnostic tools?
Certainly. This instrument is a staple in diagnostic suites and pairs perfectly with other standard medical tools such as reflex hammers and ophthalmoscopes to create a complete neurological or ENT examination kit.
Is the frequency clearly marked on the instrument?
Yes, for quick identification during a busy shift, the device features clear, etched lettering on the body that indicates both the frequency (256) and the musical note (C).
Are there any special maintenance requirements for this alloy?
Because it is constructed from premium aluminum alloy used in surgical environments, it is designed for low-maintenance, long-term performance. It should be handled and stored following standard clinical protocols for professional surgical-grade instruments.
