Peripheral neuropathy cannot be excluded without regular foot screening in conjunction with symptomatic and clinical assessments.
Neuropen® is an effective aid to this screening programme, meeting and exceeding current practices by being the first dual-purpose, pocket-sized device designed to provide a safe and reliable test. The Neuropen® is a reusable device that can deliver:
A 10g pressure test using Neuropen Monofilaments® to assess any reduction in sensation in the tested area
A 40g sharpness test using Neurotips® single use neurological examination pins, to assess reduced sensation to sharpness/pain in small nerve fibers
Neurotips™ are sterile, single use neurological examination pins, which eliminate the risk of cross infection. They are semi-sharp to reduce the risk of skin puncture particularly on fragile skin. Using a Neurotip™ within a Neuropen® ensures that a quantifiable force of 40g can be exerted safely onto the skin, providing a standardised test for identifying patients with a decrease in sensation to sharpness. This ensures a more comfortable testing procedure for the patient
Neuropen® Monofilaments are replacement monofilaments for use in the Neuropen®. The 10g monofilament test enables the clinician to map areas of reduced pressure perception by exerting a specific, repeatable force on the test site. Benefits:
Easy to use all-in-one screening device for healthcare professionals
Accurate testing and assessment to aid diabetes treatment programmes1
