Clinical Application
This set provides a range of tuning forks used routinely for bedside auditory screening (Weber and Rinne tests) to differentiate air versus bone conduction, and for assessment of vibratory sensation in neurological examinations. The compact set is well suited for ENT clinics, audiology screening, neurology offices, pre‑operative assessment, and post‑operative follow-up where quick, reliable vibratory and auditory checks are required.
Design & Configuration
Each fork uses the classic two‑pronged U‑shape with a stem that is held between the fingers or applied to bone to transmit vibration. The set of eight provides multiple pitches so clinicians can select the appropriate frequency for the specific diagnostic task—lower frequencies for bone conduction and vibratory perception, higher frequencies for finer auditory discrimination. The included case keeps instruments organized and protected for point‑of‑care use.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: Tuning fork set
- Pattern / model: Hartmann Ostmann
- Configuration: Set of 8 supplied in a protective case
- Typical use: Weber and Rinne auditory tests; vibratory sensation testing
- Material: Stainless steel construction
- Reusable: Designed for repeated clinical use with routine cleaning and disinfection
Material & Construction
Constructed from corrosion‑resistant stainless steel, each fork is precision‑formed to preserve pitch and resonance over repeated use. The solid single‑piece stems minimize energy loss at the handle, providing consistent vibration transmission. Surfaces are compatible with standard clinic cleaning and disinfection protocols for reusable instruments.
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.
