tpm – taberna pro medicum - is manufacturing the world-wide best-in-class high frequency and high resolution ultrasound imaging system for the skin. Everything from one hand: Development, manufacturing, maintenance, repair, sales and service.
The family business was founded in 1978 after more than 8 years of experience in sales and service of medical ultrasound equipment for ophthalmology. Since 2012 the company is managed by Sven Scharenberg in the second generation and is constantly developed further.
In 1998 we established the quality management system ISO 9001 for the entire company. The quality management system has been converted to the new standard for medical devices, DIN EN ISO 13485:2016.
High Frequency and High Resolution Ultrasound of the Skin
The DUB SkinScanner systems are high frequency and high resolution diagnostic ultrasound systems for use in dermatology, cosmetics field and pharmaceutical and clinical research. Different models, versions, frequency ranges and options are available for all requirements. Today the 22 MHz diagnostic ultrasound is a wide spread method for non-invasive skin analysis.
How it began
After 10 years of broad experience in medical ultrasonography, including an intensive research and development program, tpm was proud to introduce the first commercially available A/B digital ultrasound system - our DUB 20 in 1986 designed especifically for dermatology and cosmetic use with 20 MHz.
The finest resolution and superior quality of signal processing and image analysis are pre-eminent for the DUB® systems. The DUB provides continuous and rapid high resolution ultrasonography to exacting scientists. The already large range of functions has been stretched out in the Windows version since 2001. With the easy-to-handle window technology the DUB for Windows is easy to operate.
Today
Our product portfolio offers frequencies from 18 MHz to 100 MHz mostly covered by portable DUB USB devices. This broad range of devices provides an resolution (axial) from 88 µm to 16 µm.
