Tuning Fork Set of 3 (128 Hz, 256 Hz, 512 Hz) in Zipper Bag
Stainless steel medical tuning fork set containing 128 Hz, 256 Hz and 512 Hz frequencies for vibration-sense assessment, selected hearing examinations, Rinne and Weber tests, bone-conduction assessment and clinical teaching.
Three Essential Medical Tuning Fork Frequencies in One Set
The IndoSurgicals Tuning Fork Set of 3 combines three commonly used medical tuning fork frequencies: 128 Hz, 256 Hz and 512 Hz.
Each tuning fork produces a different combination of audible tone, tone duration and tactile vibration, allowing healthcare professionals and medical students to select a suitable frequency according to the examination being performed.
The set is manufactured from stainless steel and is supplied in a convenient zipper bag for organised storage and transportation. The three-frequency configuration is particularly useful for neurological sensory examination, bedside hearing assessment and medical teaching.
Key Features
Set of Three Frequencies
Includes 128 Hz, 256 Hz and 512 Hz tuning forks for a range of common clinical examination requirements.
Stainless Steel Construction
Manufactured from stainless steel for durable, reusable professional and educational use.
Vibration-Sense Testing
Includes a 128 Hz tuning fork commonly used during neurological examination of vibration perception.
Rinne & Weber Testing
Includes a 512 Hz tuning fork, commonly preferred for routine bedside Rinne and Weber hearing tests.
Bone-Conduction Examination
Suitable frequencies are available for selected bone-conduction hearing examination techniques.
Zipper Storage Bag
Supplied in a convenient zipper bag to keep all three tuning forks together during storage and transport.
Clinical Role of Each Tuning Fork Frequency
The 128 Hz tuning fork produces pronounced tactile vibration and is particularly useful for examination of vibration perception at appropriate bony prominences.
The 256 Hz fork provides both audible tone and noticeable tactile vibration and may be used during selected hearing, bone-conduction and sensory examination techniques.
The 512 Hz tuning fork is commonly preferred for routine bedside Rinne and Weber tests because it provides a useful balance of audible tone duration and reduced tactile vibration.
Clinical Applications of the Tuning Fork Set
Vibration-Sense Examination
The 128 Hz fork may be applied to an appropriate bony prominence to assess the patient's perception of vibration during neurological examination.
Rinne Test
The 512 Hz tuning fork can be used to compare air conduction with bone conduction during bedside hearing assessment.
Weber Test
The 512 Hz tuning fork may be used to assess whether bone-conducted sound is perceived centrally or lateralised toward one ear.
128 Hz for Vibration-Sense Examination
Vibration perception is commonly assessed as part of a neurological sensory examination. The 128 Hz tuning fork is particularly suitable for this purpose because it produces a strong, readily perceptible mechanical vibration.
Peripheral Sensory Assessment
The activated fork may be placed on an appropriate bony prominence while the patient reports whether vibration is perceived.
Neurological Examination
Vibration-sense findings may be compared between corresponding sides or different anatomical sites as part of a broader sensory examination.
512 Hz for Rinne & Weber Hearing Tests
The included 512 Hz tuning fork is commonly used for bedside Rinne and Weber hearing tests because the frequency provides a useful balance between audible tone duration and tactile vibration.
Rinne Test
The Rinne test compares air conduction with bone conduction in each ear. The patient's responses may provide bedside information about a possible conductive component of hearing impairment.
Weber Test
The Weber test evaluates lateralisation of a bone-conducted tone between the two ears and is generally interpreted together with the Rinne test.
256 Hz as an Intermediate Clinical Frequency
The 256 Hz tuning fork lies between the low-frequency 128 Hz sensory fork and the 512 Hz hearing-test fork. It produces both an audible tone and noticeable tactile vibration.
This makes it useful for selected hearing and bone-conduction demonstrations, sensory examination and comparison of frequency characteristics during clinical teaching.
How Medical Tuning Forks Work
A tuning fork consists of a handle connected to two parallel prongs or tines. When the tines are activated, they vibrate at a defined nominal frequency and generate mechanical vibration and an audible tone.
Activate the Fork
Hold the tuning fork by its handle and activate the tines using an appropriate clinical technique.
Select the Correct Frequency
Choose 128 Hz, 256 Hz or 512 Hz according to the examination or teaching requirement.
Position Appropriately
Depending on the test, the vibrating fork may be held near the ear or its base may be placed against an appropriate bony prominence.
Interpret the Patient's Response
The patient's perception should be interpreted according to the examination being performed and together with other relevant clinical findings.
Stainless Steel Construction
All three tuning forks in the set are manufactured from stainless steel. The metal construction provides a durable instrument suitable for repeated clinical, educational and institutional use.
Mechanical Operation
The tuning forks operate entirely through mechanical vibration and require no battery, charger or external power supply.
Portable Examination Set
The compact three-frequency configuration can be conveniently carried between examination rooms, clinics, hospitals and medical teaching laboratories.
Supplied in a Convenient Zipper Bag
The Tuning Fork Set of 3 is supplied in a zipper bag that keeps the 128 Hz, 256 Hz and 512 Hz forks organised together.
The bag provides convenient storage and transportation for clinical users, hospitals, medical colleges and teaching institutions.
