Description
GIMA LED Podoscope with Polarised Light
The GIMA LED podoscope with polarised light allows practitioners to observe foot positioning and highlights areas subject to the greatest pressure. The patient stands on a methacrylate platform – an excellent light conductor with an integrated light source inside that enables detection of colour intensity changes, reflecting different foot load distribution.
High durability and easy maintenance
This podoscope is designed for long-term use, utilising high-quality materials and components. Series production and strict quality control at every stage ensure precision and reliability. The construction withstands loads up to 135 kg (297 lbs). The green LED illumination has a lifespan of up to 25,000 hours (as per manufacturer specifications).
Simple operation and portability
The device is ready to use immediately upon switching on. Once the patient is standing, real-time examination can begin straight away. The methacrylate platform is lightweight yet sturdy, and thanks to its compact dimensions, the device is easy to transport. The low step height of just 22 cm ensures comfortable use even for elderly patients.
