These folding monofilaments are an inexpensive way for diabetics and other patients to keep on top of their health. Designed to detect peripheral neuropathy in otherwise normal feet, which is a constant threat to diabetics, the monofilaments are also useful to detect changes in a patient's neurological status. Foldable and reusable, these monofilaments are the economic choice for patients who need regular testing.
The Baseline Multi-Filament Pen provides precise and accurate results in detecting sensory loss or neuropathy in diabetic patients. It offers four monofilament force levels ranging from 2.83 (0.07gm) to 5.07 (10gm) in one sleek device. When not in use, the nylon monofilaments retract into the protective pen case, making it easy to store and carry with you, wherever you go.
The Touch-Test monofilament bends when peak force threshold is reached. Test sensory levels and obtain objective data on the status of diminishing or return insensibility. Handle opens to a 90° angle. Finger indentations on handle provide a firm, comfortable hold. Color code shows pressure level. Comes in a protective case with instructions included.
Baseline 2-point discrimination set includes two discrimination octagons (wheels). Each octagon measures a different range of 8 labeled, fixed 2-point intervals ranging from 1 mm to 25 mm. The easy-to-use, lightweight plastic wheel is the perfect sensory evaluation tool to test static and dynamic 1 and 2-point discrimination.
