Monofilaments for Diabetic Foot Screening

Monofilaments are a reliable and cost-effective tool for assessing the presence or absence of protective sensation in the feet. This simple yet powerful method helps clinicians identify patients at risk of developing diabetic foot ulcers, a leading cause of lower extremity complications.

When used in conjunction with ongoing physician care, sensory testing with monofilaments can significantly reduce the incidence of foot ulcerations and prevent potential amputations. Early detection and intervention are key to improving patient outcomes.

Monofilaments are designed to be user-friendly, allowing patients to actively engage in their own foot health monitoring. Their simplicity and effectiveness make them an essential component of diabetic foot care protocols.

Each monofilament is manufactured and tested to meet the stringent tolerances specified by the Bureau of Primary Health Care’s Lower Extremity Amputation Prevention (LEAP) Program. This ensures consistent performance and clinical reliability.

To guarantee accuracy, all monofilaments undergo in-line precision testing to confirm they deliver the standard 10-gram force required for proper sensory evaluation.
