SKU
NV0594-B

Making patients aware of any impaired pain perception they have in their feet is crucial to take action to minimise damage to their feet (for example through compliance with wearing correct footwear and orthotic insoles).

Medipin is the affordable and safe pin-prick option to screen for diabetic neuropathy and can detect loss of protective sensation sooner than with monofilament testing.

Medipin Test Pins - Neuropathy Test for Feet - Early Detection Device

Medipin - Revolutionizing Neuropathy Early Detection and Diabetes Monitoring

In the realm of healthcare technology, Medipin has emerged as a groundbreaking solution for early detection of neuropathy and effective monitoring of diabetes. This innovative device is changing the game by providing a reliable and convenient way to screen for neuropathy, a common complication associated with diabetes.

The Medipin device utilises cutting-edge technology to accurately assess nerve function, making it an invaluable tool for individuals at risk of developing neuropathy. By conducting simple tests using Medipin, users can proactively monitor their nerve health and take necessary precautions to prevent potential complications.

One of the key benefits of Medipin is its user-friendly design, which allows individuals to perform neuropathy screenings in the comfort of their own homes. This not only saves time but also enables early detection of nerve damage, leading to timely intervention and improved management of diabetes-related issues.

Latest clinical evidence show that the Medipin pin-prick device can identify diabetic neuropathy and detects (first signs of) neuropathy in relatively more patients than 10 g monofilament testing. The differential targeting of nerve types, namely predominant small (Medipin) versus large (monofilament) fibre, likely underpins the difference in outcomes (Fisher et al.,2024 - Download full article on the pdf link below)

Medipin is a specialized tool designed for the early detection of peripheral neuropathy, particularly in patients with diabetes.


Features & Benefits:

  • Early Detection: Medipin can help in the early identification of neuropathy, which is crucial for timely intervention.
  • Home Testing: It enables patients to perform tests at home, following ADA guidelines, to detect loss of protective sensation (LOPS) in diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
  • Simple Use: The Medipin has a unique design with a pyramid-shaped point to stretch rather than penetrate the skin, surrounded by an annular ring for dull stimulation.
  • Safety: Medipin is designed to optimize pinprick perception without piercing delicate skin, reducing the risk of skin penetration and needle stick injuries.
  • Fully complies with MHRA (UK) and MDR (EU) Regulations - Class I Medical Device
  • FDA Listed: It is an FDA listed instrument and has been used by U.S. doctors and in international medical studies.

Medipin offers a straightforward and safe method for patients to participate in their own diabetic healthcare by regularly testing sensation in their feet, which can be a critical aspect of diabetes management.

Silent numbness due to nerve destruction is common in diabetic skin where loss of a sense of pain, often called pinprick sensation, can lead to ulcers and amputation due to a failure to notice even tiny injuries.

The Diabetic Toes Test by Medipin provides an early warning you can now perform at home, before your regular checkup, to help identify when feet have developed the beginnings of diabetic nerve damage.  It takes seconds once a month and costs cents using a Medipin - a disposable tool chosen by health professionals every day and designed to be kind to delicate skin.

Why choose the Diabetic Toes Test by Medipin?

Healthy feet are able to warn us of injury because specialised nerves in the skin transmit painful signals of sharpness and hot or cold to monitor their surroundings constantly.  Their role is to sense potential harm from even the smallest hazard like a fragment of glass, rubbing shoes or stepping on a tack. 

 When these particular nerves are damaged the skin can become numb so gradually that the feet may not detect an injury has even taken place.  This is called Loss Of Protective Sensation or LOPS and tends to develop progressively. This is an important concern in diabetes especially because even small injuries can be stubborn to heal and if undiagnosed Loss Of Protective Sensation can lead to more serious complications such as diabetic foot ulcers and amputation of toes and feet.  

These pain sensitive nerves are the smallest in the feet and diabetes tends to damage them before any others. Most importantly, with the correct medical guidance it can be reversed.
