Revolutionize Your Diabetes Management with Some Must-Have Products

Diabetes can lead to several complications including diabetic vasculopathy, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic neuropathy, etc. Therefore, complete diabetes management involves taking care of not only the control of blood sugars but also the different complications that can arise due to the same.

Kody Medical Electronics

Kody Medical Electronic, dedicated to diabetes care, brings to you a range of products that cover all aspects of diabetes management. The range includes simple and basic instruments such as BP Monitors, Foot Temperature Monitors, and podiatry kits to sophisticated equipment such as Digital Biothesiometers, Neuropathy Analysers, Vascular Dopplers, Digital Fundus Camera, and Plantar Pressure Scanners.

PAD and Vascular Dopplers

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a complication in patients with diabetes, caused by plaque buildup in blood vessels, reducing blood flow to the limbs. Vascular parameters such as ankle-brachial index (ABI), tibial-brachial index (TBI), and pulse volume recording (PVR) help identify PAD in patients with diabetes, and vascular Dopplers using high-frequency sound waves help measure these parameters. Kody Medical Electronics offers a wide range of such Dopplers, Hadeco Smartdop XT 6 Port, Hadeco Smartdop XT 14 Port, Smartdop 30EX, Hadeco Smartdop XT 6 Port, and Hadeco Smartdop XT 14 Port, for the measurement of ABI, TBI, and PVR in patients with PAD.

Foot Care Equipment

One of the most frequent complications that patients with diabetes face is diabetic foot ulcer, which could even lead to amputation when left unattended. A thorough physical examination and medical history supplemented with some diagnostic tests can help assess the extent of damage and offer appropriate treatment to patients.

Kody Medical Electronics offers several foot monitoring systems:

PODO i MAT is a plantar pressure mapping system that helps assess the pressure distribution on the sole during walking or standing. 

Footwork – Automatic Foot Scan is an electronic pedometer used to analyse foot anatomy to understand the patient’s unique walking/running pattern, weight balance, foot biometrics, and much more. 

Harris mat is a foot scanning equipment that identifies potential points of ulceration in patients with diabetes as high-pressure points. 

IR thermometer helps identify the risk of ulceration in patients with diabetes through comparative temperature measurements in the feet.

Diabetic Neuropathy Equipment

Diabetic neuropathy refers to damage to sensory nerves in patients with diabetes. Measurement of parameters such as vibration perception and hot and cold perception using biothesiometers helps in the early diagnosis of diabetic neuropathy. Kody Medical Electronics offers a range of digital biothesiometers such as BIOTHEZI-VPT, BIOTHEZI-VPT LITE, HCP-ELITE, and VPT ULTRA for the measurement of VPT and assessment of hot and cold perception.

KODYSCAN, a Cardiac Autonomic Neuropathy Analyzer, helps diagnose autonomous neuropathy through parameters such as Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and other autonomic function assessments.

Diabetic Retinopathy Equipment

Diabetic retinopathy is a condition where blood vessels in the retina are affected due to diabetes, which may lead to loss of vision and blindness. Horus DEC200, the Digital Handheld Fundus Camera from Kody Medical Electronics, is a portable fundus camera that delivers high-resolution fundus images over a 45-degree field of vision to healthcare professionals. It is useful in screening and documenting retinal conditions such as age-related macular disease, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy.

Conclusion

Having the right kind of equipment/instruments to diagnose the presence and severity of complications in patients with diabetes goes a long way in managing diabetes and improving their quality of life.
