Features

• Reusable monofilaments are designed to provide accurate sensory testing of the hands and feet
• Beyond peripheral neuropathy in diabetic patients, these filaments can be used in similar tests to measure changes in sensation and potential nerve impairment
• Made to be damage-resistant and highly reusable for maximum functionality through every evaluation
• With complete instructions included, the nylon and precisely calibrated monofilaments are all conveniently packed inside a handy case
• Individual replacements available in sizes: 2.44, 2.83, 3.61, 4.08, 4.31, 4.55, 4.93, 5.07, 5.46, 5.88, 6.10 and 6.65
• Comprehensive Set for Measuring Sensations
  Jamar Monofilaments are often recommended for diabetic patients who need to frequently test themselves for potential development of peripheral neuropathy. The reusable monofilaments are used to measure diminishing and returning sensation. Neuropathy can develop at any time and, if not tested for, can go unnoticed until other injuries or ulcers appear.
• Use to Evaluate the Hand and Foot
  The monofilaments come in a wide variety of individual sizes to choose from. In addition, the monofilaments are available in sets that include: Set of 20 Monofilaments, Set of 5 Hand Monofilaments (one each - 2.83, 3.61, 4.31, 4.56 and 6.65), and Set of 6 Foot Monofilaments (one each - 2.83, 3.61, 4.31, 4.56, 5.07 and 6.65). The 20 nylon monofilaments measure equal lengths and have been found through repeated testing to be an extremely accurate method of measuring cutaneous sensibility.
• Highly Reusable for Maximum Functionality
  For hand and foot evaluations, these monofilaments provide accurate testing for presence and level of peripheral nerve involvement and skin sensitivity. Color pencils included, the monofilaments can be color-coded for easy identification during testing procedures and improved ease of access. It is recommended to clean the reusable monofilaments with an antimicrobial wipe after each patient use.
