Introducing Neuropen 10g Spare Filaments - the perfect addition to your Neuropen kit. These high-quality spare filaments ensure you never run out of supplies when testing for diabetic neuropathy or other neurological conditions.
Foot ulceration causes considerable morbidity among patients with diabetes mellitus and the amputation of a foot or leg remains its most dreaded consequence. Peripheral neuropathy cannot be excluded without regular foot screening in conjunction with symptomatic and clinical assessments.
Neuropen® is an effective aid to this screening programme, meeting and exceeding current practices by being the first dual-purpose, pocket sized device designed to provide a safe and reliable test. The Neuropen® is a reusable device that can deliver:
• A 10g pressure test using Neuropen Monofilaments® to assess any reduction in sensation in the tested area. Monofilament testing can assess the protective touch/pressure sensation in large nerve fibres.
• A 40g sharpness test using Neurotips® single use neurological examination pins, to assess reduced sensation to sharpness/pain in small nerve fibers.
