Description

The Retractable Monofilament 10g is a valuable tool in the field of medical testing, particularly in assessing sensory perception. This device is commonly used in monofilament sensory testing, especially for conditions like neuropathy and diabetes.
 
One of the key benefits of using the Retractable Monofilament 10g is its precision and reliability in detecting sensory deficits. Its ability to apply a consistent amount of pressure makes it an essential tool for healthcare professionals conducting monofilament examinations.
 
In medical settings, the use of this retractable monofilament can provide crucial insights into a patient's neurological health and help identify early signs of sensory impairment. By incorporating this tool into routine assessments, healthcare providers can offer timely interventions and improve patient outcomes.
 
The Retractable Monofilament is a diagnostic tool used primarily for testing the loss of protective sensation in patients with diabetes.
 
Benefits:
  • Accurate Sensation Testing: It provides a standardized method to test for loss of protective sensation, which is crucial for diabetic patients
  • Retractable Design: The monofilament is retractable for protection and hygiene when not in use
  • Durability: Resists damage and saves time and expense of replacing and recalibrating
  • Uses:
  • Diabetic Foot Screening: Used to screen for peripheral nerve impairment and detect changes in neurological status in diabetic patients
  • Neuropathy Evaluation: Helps in evaluating the risk of developing neuropathic ulcers if a patient cannot feel the 10g force exerted by the monofilament
 
Medical Conditions or When To Use:
  • Diabetes: Specifically designed for diabetic foot examinations to prevent complications like ulcers
  • Peripheral Neuropathy: Assesses the loss of sensation associated with peripheral neuropathy
  • It’s recommended to replace the Monofilament every six months if used daily on multiple patients, or every 24 months for occasional use, to maintain accuracy.
