Product Overview
The Fabrication Enterprises Baseline Monofilament Sensory Test (1, 10, 75 Gram) is a precision medical tool designed for assessing sensory perception, particularly light touch and protective sensation. It is commonly used in neurological evaluations, diabetic neuropathy screening, and physical therapy assessments.
Features:
- Includes three monofilaments (1g, 10g, 75g) for varying sensitivity testing.
- Made of durable nylon for consistent pressure application.
- Color-coded handles for easy identification of filament strength.
- Portable and lightweight for convenient clinical or field use.
Specifications:
- Filament Forces: 1 gram, 10 grams, 75 grams.
- Material: Nylon monofilament with plastic handles.
- Length: Approximately 8 inches per filament.
- Intended Use: Sensory testing for neuropathy, nerve damage, and tactile sensitivity.
Use Suggestion:
Apply the monofilament perpendicular to the skin with steady pressure until it bends slightly. Ask the patient to indicate when they feel the touch. Begin with the lightest filament (1g) and progress to higher forces (10g, 75g) if no response is detected. Record the smallest detectable filament force for accurate sensory assessment.
