Neuropen® Device
Description
Neuropen® Device
The only dual function screening device with replaceable monofilaments. Neuropen device is an effective screening aid , which combines two calibrated tests enabling the clinician to identify those patients most at risk of foot ulceration, when used in conjunction with symptomatic and clinical assessments.
Neurotips Neurotips are sterile, single use neurological examination pins, which eliminate the risk of infection. They are semi-sharp, to reduce the risk of skin puncture particularly on fragile skin. Calibrated Neurotip test - assesses reduced sensation to sharpness/ pain in small nerve fibres. Using a Neurotip within a Neuropen device ensures that a quantifiable force of 40g can be exerted safely onto the skin, providing a standardised test to identify patients with a decreased sensation to sharpness. This provides the clinician with a safer tool for testing pain sensation, as the chance of piercing the skin with this standardised force is minimal.
Monofilaments 10g Monofilament test- assesses touch/ pressure sensation in large nerve fibres. The 10g monofilament test enables the clinician to map areas of reduced pressure perception by exerting a specific repeatable force on test site. The 10g monofilaments are replaceable providing the user with a reliable and reproducible test. Neuropen Device only. Monofilaments and Neuro Tips not included
