Features:
- Consistent Force Application: Delivers a standardized 10-gram buckling force for reliable sensory testing.
- Folding Design: Compact and portable, making it easy to store and carry.
- Durable Monofilament: High-quality nylon filament resists wear and maintains accuracy over time.
- Easy to Use: Simple buckling mechanism allows for quick and efficient testing.
- Single-Use or Reusable: Can be sterilized for repeated use or disposed of after single-patient applications.
Specifications:
- Force: 10-gram buckling force (75-gram filament)
- Material: Nylon monofilament with plastic handle
- Length: Extended length for easy handling
- Weight: Lightweight and portable
Use Suggestion:
Ideal for screening peripheral neuropathy in diabetic patients, the Baseline Monofilament should be applied perpendicular to the skin until it bends. The patient’s ability to sense the filament helps determine protective sensation loss. Suitable for use in clinics, hospitals, and research studies.
