A thermotester, diagnostic is a medical device that evaluates a patient's reaction to thermal stimuli on the skin surface, typically by gradually increasing temperature to 42-50°C. It provides quantitative diagnostic information about heat or cold perception thresholds and is used for diagnosing early diabetes mellitus, detecting phantom pain, studying neurological thin fiber nerve systems, and investigating pain thresholds.
These devices are typically mains electricity-powered and operate by delivering controlled thermal stimuli to patients. They are designed for diagnostic purposes and are used in clinical settings to evaluate thermal perception and nerve function. The devices are supplied as specialized equipment for healthcare professionals to perform specific diagnostic evaluations.
