Benefits of Using Diabetic Neuropathy Equipment

Early Diagnosis of Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is a common complication of type 1 and type 2 diabetes that can cause neuropathic pain, diabetic foot ulcers, and lower limb amputations.

Early diagnosis of diabetic neuropathy is important for effective treatment and preventing amputations.

Current diagnostic methods such as nerve conduction studies and monofilament testing only detect advanced stages of the disease. There is a need for diagnostic equipment and testing that can detect diabetic peripheral neuropathy in the early stages.

Kody Medical Electronics' Diagnostic Instruments for Early Detection of Diabetic Neuropathy

Kody Medical Electronics offers a range of diagnostic instruments for detecting diabetic neuropathy in the early stages.

These instruments include biothesiometers for measuring vibration perception threshold and hot/cold perception threshold in large and small nerve fibers.

The BIOTHEZI-VPT, BIOTHEZI-VPT LITE, and BIOTHEZI VPT ULTRA models can measure vibration perception threshold in both hands and feet, while the HCP Elite model also measures hot/cold perception threshold in both hands and feet.

Early diagnosis of diabetic neuropathy using these instruments is possible due to their ability to measure small nerve fibers, unlike nerve conduction studies.

Digital Biothesiometers and Monofilaments for Assessing Ulceration Risk in Diabetic Neuropathy Patients

Kody Medical Electronics digital biothesiometers are simple, economical instruments with manual control for applying vibration and hot/cold perception.

They come with a comprehensive operating method and easy-to-use software, and reports can be exported to PDF for ease of sharing.

Kody's monofilaments are used to assess the risk of ulceration in patients. Lack of sensation in response to the buckling of a monofilament at specific sites on the foot indicates a risk of ulceration.

Each pack of monofilaments contains 20 that can be used multiple times, and one monofilament can be used for 3 to 4 patients for 16 sites.

KODYSCAN: A Non-Invasive Test for Assessing Cardiac Autonomic Neuropathy in Diabetic Patients

KODYSCAN is a non-invasive, fully automated computer-based test system for assessing cardiac autonomic neuropathy in diabetic patients. It measures heart rate variability and blood pressure for a quantitative assessment of the autonomic nervous system and autonomic balance. Using KODYSCAN and other diagnostic equipment can help diagnose diabetic peripheral neuropathy earlier and improve patient treatment and quality of life, potentially preventing unnecessary amputations.
