These disposable monofilament tests are designed to assess protective sensation in the feet, particularly for patients at risk of diabetic neuropathy or peripheral nerve dysfunction. Each 10-gram monofilament delivers a standardized level of pressure to help identify loss of sensation, enabling healthcare providers to recognize patients at increased risk for foot ulcers, injuries, and related complications.
Why Use It?
Monofilament testing is a quick, reliable, and non-invasive screening method for peripheral neuropathy. By applying gentle pressure to specific areas of the foot, clinicians can determine a patient’s ability to perceive light touch—an essential indicator of nerve function and overall foot safety.
Available Options
Disposable pack of 20 single-use monofilaments
Pocket-pen–style retractable device with five additional replaceable filament cartridges
