TPMD System
Without data, youāre just another person with an opinion.
The TPMD Measurement System
TPMD is made in Japan by JMS
Its high accuracy has been widely recognized: more than 30,000 devices have performed 3.5 million measurements.
Japanās national health insurance reimburses tongue force measurements using the TPMD.
The TPMD system obtained CE mark in 2022
Measurement Workflow
The TPMD self-calibrates before each measurement when you press the start button.
Connecting the probe and tube
Press the grey ON/OFF button
Press the orange button, wait for calibration to complete
Place the probe in the mouth
Press the probe's bulb with the tongue to start the measurement
What Parameters TPMD Can Measure
TPMD enables standardized measurement of:
Anterior and mid-tongue strength
Tongue endurance and fatigue resistance
Left/right symmetry of tongue force
Upper/lower lip/closure strength
Left and right cheek strength
Customized measurement protocols designed by the clinician
These parameters provide an objective physiological foundation for functional rehabilitation. All measurements are displayed on a single screen and can be stored for longitudinal follow-up.
Hygiene And Safety
TPMD probes are single-use devices intended for use on a single patient. It is strictly prohibited to clean or sterilize the probes or to reuse them. Sterilization procedures can alter the chemical composition of the probe tip and release toxic substances into the oral cavity.
Software & Data
TPMD connects to a PC or Mac via USB and operates with dedicated software for data visualization and recording.
The Software Provides :
Real-time graphical feedback during measurement
Standardized display of all parameters on one screen
Recording of measurement curves and data
These data can be saved for the patient's medical records
Proven Accuracy
Its high accuracy has been widely recognized: more than 30,000 devices have performed 3.5 million measurements. Japan's national health insurance reimburses tongue force measurements using the TPMD.

Specialised Training Courses On TPMD Uses
We will be offering TPMD users training sessions on how to use this instrument to its full potential. These sessions will be led by healthcare professionals specialising in the management of tongue dysfunction across various clinical indications, with the aim of equipping you with the knowledge and expertise needed to extract the maximum amount of information from the TPMD.
For simple assessments of tongue strength and endurance using TPMD, we offer short demonstration videos on our website showing the various measurement methods available.
