Clinical Application
This set provides a range of tuning forks commonly used for bedside and clinic-based auditory and neurologic assessments. The forks are intended for standard hearing screening maneuvers (Rinne and Weber tests) to help differentiate conductive versus sensorineural hearing loss and for assessment of vibratory sensation in peripheral neuropathy and other sensory-motor examinations. The multiple‑fork set lets clinicians select lower or higher pitch forks appropriate to the patient’s age, hearing profile, or site of neurological testing.
Design & Configuration
Each instrument uses the classic two-pronged fork geometry with a stem-style handle for controlled striking and precise placement on bony landmarks (mastoid, forehead, or extremities). The set format (five forks in a fitted box) supports routine clinical workflows by keeping instruments organized, protected in transit, and immediately accessible during patient encounters. The simple mechanical design produces consistent, audible and vibratory output when struck, enabling reproducible bedside comparisons of air versus bone conduction and objective assessment of vibration sense.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: Diagnostic tuning fork
- Pattern / model: Hartmann tuning fork set
- Configuration: Set of 5 in storage box
- Typical clinical use: Rinne and Weber hearing tests; vibratory sensory testing

Material & Construction
The forks are manufactured from stainless steel to provide durable, corrosion‑resistant performance and consistent resonance. The solid metal construction supports reproducible pitch and vibration characteristics. Instruments are designed for reuse and should be cleaned and sterilized according to facility infection control protocols prior to clinical use.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
Brand Comparison
Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
