Precise palpation every time
Palpeter is a mechanic algometer/dolorimeter for perfect repeatable palpation! Whether it is for diagnosis of temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD/TMJ), rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, pain assessment or documentation of patient progress based on your treatment plan, Palpeter is your pal!

No sensitive electronics and no troublesome read-out from a complex scale – instead Palpeter gives you instant and direct feedback on when you have applied the pressure you need. It is a natural extension of your finger – only this time you can be 100% sure that the correct and exact same pressure is applied over and over again.




It is so easy...
After having placed the soft head of Palpeter on the muscle or joint of the patient, simply press towards the patient until the tip of Palpeter’s shaft is touching your finger - now the specified pressure has been applied. It is so easy that you can even ask someone in your staff to help you and be assured that they will do the same as you.

Because of the simplicity and precision of Palpeter, it supports you directly in following guidelines and standards such as the Disease Activity Score (DAS28), The American College of Rheumatology Criteria (ACR) for the Classification of Fibromyalgia and the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD).

Should you run multi-center clinical studies and/or randomized controlled trials, Palpeter is the obvious tool to include to ensure standardization.

Don’t just take our word for it!
The clinical value of Palpeter has already been proven in several clinical trials in Europe and the US with the first study presented at International Association of Dental Research 2011 and subsequently published in the Journal of Dental Research July 2011. See more under "Clinical documentation".

Palpeter is patent pending.

Palpeter comes in 4 variants sold in sets of two, either 500g & 1000g or 2000g & 4000g.
