Product Description
This Baseline Folding Monofilament is a reusable testing instrument used to screen for peripheral nerve impairment and diabetic foot concerns by assessing protective sensation. The 100 gram monofilament is part of a range in which higher values indicate greater stiffness and a higher force required to bend the filament. During testing, the filament is placed against the skin, typically on the feet, and the clinician records the locations where it is felt along with the force required for bending. This information helps evaluate sensory changes and can support treatment decisions when appropriate. The folding design makes the instrument compact and easy to transport, and the reusable construction offers an economical option for repeated testing. For accurate results, the test should be administered by someone other than the patient and used under the guidance of a health professional. After use, it can be cleaned with warm, soapy water.
