Description
The tuning fork is a student-grade, manual instrument calibrated at 512 cps (512 cycles per second) for clinical assessment of hearing and vibratory sensation. It is supplied without external weights, aligning with standard educational drills that emphasize consistent resonance and strike technique. The device features a rigid metal body with a central channel along the stem for balance and control, and a knurled proximal knob for precise positioning during bedside testing. The long stem provides a stable strike point and easy handling in exam rooms, while the compact footprint fits into standard medical kits and instrument trays.
Used as a nerve sensory evaluator, it supports routine evaluation of peripheral nerve function, including vibratory thresholds and tactile discrimination. It is compatible with conventional exam protocols and accessories designed for 512 Hz forks, and the metal construction supports routine cleaning and sterilization per manufacturer guidelines. Suitable for medical students, clinical trainees, and allied health classrooms seeking a dependable, low-maintenance vibroacoustic tool.
