Instruments used specially in Endocrinology are as follows:

Instrument list

Instrument Description Uses
Continuous glucose monitor Consists of a sensor electrode (implanted or disposable) that measures glucose concentration in the interstitial fluid, and a receiver device where the measurements are sent through by a transmitter to be displayed. To automatically measure glucose at regular intervals (e.g. every 5-15 minutes). Measurements can be displayed to the patient continuously, or after scanning the device. An alarm may sound to notify of measured or predicted hyper- or hypoglycemia.[1][2]
Glucose meter A portable electronic device that takes single-use strips, where a drop of blood is placed. Allows self-monitoring by the patient. To measure blood glucose[3]
Hertel exophthalmometer A system of mirrors or prisms that projects a lateral view of the eye against a ruler that measures the distance from the lateral canthus to the anterior surface of the cornea To evaluate the prominence of the eye, which increases in hyperthyroidism[4][5]
Luedde exophthalmometer A transparent ruler, held against the lateral rim of the orbit To evaluate the prominence of the eye[5]
Prader orchidometer A string of elliptical beads of increasing size To measure, by comparison, the size of testicles[6]
Seager orchidometer A calliper To measure the long axis of the testicle[6]
Ultrasound system A console system, or a portable device, which includes a monitor and a transducer, and utilizes ultrasound to image body tissues. To image the thyroid and parathyroid glands and neck lymph nodes; also, to guide diagnostic fine needle aspiration[7] or therapeutic ethanol injection to these organs.[8]
