Diagnostics & Education 26 ■ The introduction of the Duraban has given the monofilament anti-microbial properties ensuring it meets the decontamination and infection control requirements Retractable Monofilament with Duraban Code Description LA4891 10g Front Nail Nipper NV0044 Front Nail Nipper Length: 5.5" - 14cm NV0042 Front Nail Nipper NV0043 Pedicure Nipper Length: 5.5" - 14cm NV0045 Corner Nipper Flame Length: 4.5" - 11.5cm NV0040 Corner Nipper Flame Length 5.11" - 13cm NV0041 Pedicure Corner Nipper Length: 5.5" - 14cm NV0046 Diaped nippers specially designed to prevent Dual combination diagnostic device for testing sharp/blunt discrimination and sensory perception. The sensations of touch and temperature in the foot have specific practical implications – for diabetics even more important – they are essential protective functions of the body. (1) The calibrated spring mechanism exerts a force of 40g to help assess patients. Blunt sharp response. (2) Monofilament test for assessing protective touch/pressure sensation in large nerve fibres. ■ Neuropen tests essential protective functions of blunt/sharp discrimination and sensory perception of the feet ■ Easily removable and disposable neurotips to avoid infectious cross contamination. ■ Monofilament can be easily removed and replaced without replacing the whole device. ■ Simple, safe, non-invasive, economical and rapid test of two important protective functions of the feet Neuropen Code Description NV0590 Neuropen NV0591 10g Filaments (5) NV0593 Neurotips (100) 1 2 Sold separately Monofilaments are designed to test the loss of sensation in the feet of diabetic patients. If a patient cannot feel a 10g monofilament then they must be considered to be at risk of developing a neuropathic ulcer. NICE 2004 - Neurological assessments to identify neurological loss include the use of a monofilament or tuning fork. ■ Measures both diminishing and returning sensation, ideal for screening peripheral nerve impairment and detecting changes in neurological status ■ Monofilaments resist damage, thus saving time and expense of replacing and recalibrating ■ Monofilaments are portable, practical, compact and easy to use. Ideal for the busy clinician ■ Monofilaments are unaffected by atmospheric moisture
