Reusable The main body of the Neuropen is designed to be used again and again. 40g Sharpness Test The replaceable Neurotip provides a measured 40g force to accurately assess reduced sensation to sharpness/pain in small nerve fibres. Replaceable The Neuropen Monofilament can be replaced as required. 10g Pressure Test The Neuropen Monofilament provides a measured 10g force to accurately assess reduced pressure perception. Code Description Price NV0591 10g Filaments (5) £12.95 NV0593 Neurotips (100) £8.95 The red and white Neurotips provide a contrast when used for peripheral vision testing. Neurotips are sterile, single use neurological examination pins, which eliminates the risk of cross 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 ensures that a quantifiable force of 40g can be exerted safely onto the skin, providing a standardised test to identify patients with a decrease in 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. The Neuropen allows you to replace your 10g monofilament without discarding the whole device. The 10g monofilaments are replaceable providing the user with a reliable and reproducible test.
