Hartmann-French Tuning Forks: Professional Grade Auditory Diagnostics
The Hartmann-French Tuning Forks from Adas Instruments are expertly crafted for clinicians requiring the highest level of acoustic purity. Unlike standard aluminum models, these steel forks provide a deeper resonance and a more consistent vibration frequency, making them the gold standard for clinical Rinne and Weber hearing assessments.
Exceptional Engineering & Accuracy
Manufactured from premium surgical-grade steel, these tuning forks undergo a specialized tempering and calibration process to ensure they meet exact frequency standards. The ergonomic stem is designed to facilitate optimal energy transfer during bone conduction tests, allowing for the subtle, controlled strikes required in quiet clinical environments. At Adas Instruments, we prioritize 100% technical accuracy, ensuring the pitch remains stable throughout the life of the instrument.
Surgical & Diagnostic Applications
- Advanced Audiometry: Used for identifying subtle differences in conductive versus sensorineural hearing loss.
- ENT Pre-Surgical Screening: Critical for assessing patient hearing levels prior to stapedectomy or myringotomy procedures.
- Neurological Sensory Testing: Provides a standardized vibratory stimulus for assessing peripheral sensory pathways.
Care and Maintenance Section
To preserve the frequency calibration and finish, these steel forks should be kept dry and wiped clean with a soft cloth after use. While resistant to corrosion, avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures that could alter the molecular structure of the steel. Adas Instruments ships USA, Europe & worldwide to support specialized surgical centers with elite-tier instrumentation.
People Also Ask
What is the difference between Hartmann and Hartmann-French tuning forks?
The Hartmann-French design typically features a different tine shape and is often manufactured in high-grade steel for a sharper, more focused resonance preferred in specialized ENT practices.
Are these forks sold individually or in sets?
We offer them both as individual frequencies (e.g., 256Hz, 512Hz) and as a complete diagnostic set for full-range hearing evaluation.
Can these be used for bone conduction tests?
Yes, the weighted base and steel composition are specifically optimized for efficient vibration transfer through the mastoid bone.
