This 20-pack of disposable monofilament tests is designed for assessing protective sensation in the feet, primarily for patients at risk of diabetic neuropathy or peripheral nerve dysfunction. Each 10g monofilament provides a standardized tool to detect loss of sensation, helping healthcare providers identify patients at risk for ulcers, injuries, and complications due to impaired sensation.
Why Use It?
Monofilament testing is a quick, reliable, and non-invasive method to screen for peripheral neuropathy. By applying gentle pressure at specific points on the foot, clinicians can determine whether a patient can feel light touch—an important indicator of nerve health and foot safety.
