Products for General Diagnostics

An orienting examination is an important element in general diagnostics. This exam can greatly vary depending on the medical discipline. In optometry for example, the vision test with a Snellen chart is part of the standard exam, whereas an ENT doctor would say that otoscopy with an otoscope represents the basis of an examination. 

General diagnostics for a general practitioner typically includes multiple elements. Mostly, a sphygmomanometer is used to measure the patient's blood pressure which is subsequently documented. When cold symptoms are present, the doctor will illuminate the inside of the patient's mouth and throat using a diagnostic torch before auscultating the lungs with a stethoscope. Determination of the body temperature using a thermometer also provides important clues regarding the severity of the illness. Diabetologists and internists as well as general practitioners and gynacologists require personal scales as part of their standard equipment, as body weight is an important parameter used for determining a patient's general health. 

The general practitioner is usually the first point of care for patients; therefore, many GPs will also have specialised diagnostic instruments like dermatoscopes on hand. At Praxisdienst, you will find a large selection of diagnostic instruments, devices and equipment required for general diagnostics. Here, you will find the most important products at a glance: 

Blood Pressure Monitors 

Whether you need a sphygmomanometer or a fully automatic blood pressure monitor, Praxisdienst offers you a wide selection of blood pressure monitors for quick and precise blood pressure determination. Of course, you can also order 24-hour blood pressure monitors with which the blood pressure changes over the course of the day are clearly represented.  

Pen Torches & Diagnostic Lights

Pen torches and diagnostic lights are excellent for illuminating the oral and laryngeal cavities of patients with a cold. They are also useful for more precisely observing wounds or for testing the pupil reflexes. 

Sensation Testing Tools

Sensation testing tools are mostly used for polyneuropathy exams. Temperature sensitivity, skin sensitivity and vibrational sensitivity can be examined using sensation testing tools. At Praxisdienst, you will find monofilaments, temperature sensory testers and tuning forks as well as many more useful items.

Thermometers

The determination of body temperature is not only an important part of general diagnostics in paediatric medicine, but also for adults. A fever usually indicates that the body is fighting off germs or other foreign bodies. However, it can also be connected with inflammatory processes. At Praxisdienst, you will find classic thermometers as well as ear thermometers, forehead thermometers and digital thermometers at affordable prices. 

Otoscopes and Other Diagnostic Instruments

Whether it is otoscopes, ophthalmoscopes, slit lamps or nasal specula that you need, you will find a wide selection of diagnostic instruments from Heine, Riester and Welch Allyn as well as other diagnostic instruments. The instrument heads can be combined with the compatible handles so that multiple instruments from the same series can be used with a single handle. 

Of course, we also offer you the compatible accessories for general diagnostics with diagnostic instruments. From ear specula to batteries and replacement bulbs, we have all of the important accessories in our shop. 

Personal Scales 

Body weight plays an important roll in the treatment of many metabolism and circulatory disorders. The weight of babies and children is determined during general medical check ups in order to document the child's development. At Praxisdienst, you can find a wide range of personal scale for children and adults, as well as diverse baby scales that provide a precise measurement of the body weight.

Reflex Hammers and Tuning Forks 

Testing of the patient's muscular reflexes also belongs to the general diagnostic procedure. As a rule, these are usually stimulated by a reflex hammer. In our shop, you will find reflex hammers of various shapes and sizes at affordable prices. We also offer you tuning forks for testing the vibrational sensitivity and for determining auditory damage. 

Eye Charts 

In this category, you will find classic eye charts for determining visual acuity, as well as stereo tests for testing the stereoscopic perceptibility and even colour charts for determining red-green deficiencies. 

Stethoscopes

The stethoscope is the classic amongst diagnostic instruments. Whether it is being used for auscultation of heart, lung or intestinal sounds or even for manual blood pressure measurement with a sphygmomanometer, stethoscopes have diverse medical applications. At Praxisdienst, you may not only find stethoscopes from Riester, Welch Allyn or Teqler, but also the high-quality and precise brand-name stethoscopes from Littmann. In addition to simple stethoscopes for general diagnostics, we also offer you special cardiology stethoscopes at affordable prices. 

Stadiometers & Tape Measures 

In this category, you will find everything you need for measuring a patient–be it the abdominal circumference, height or head circumference. In addition to tape measures and stadiometers, we offer you electronic stadiometers and measuring mats for infants at affordable prices. 

Clinometers & Goniometers

Here, you will find a diverse selection of clinometers and goniometers for measuring ally types of asymmetries during general diagnostic exams in the orthopaedic practice. From scoliometers and goniometers to podoscopes and inclinometers, Praxisdienst has all of the diagnostic instruments you need for orthopaedics.
