Neurotips are sterile, single use neurological examination pins, which eliminate the risk of 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 decreased 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 in minimal.

10g Monofilament test- assesses touch/ pressure sensation in large nerve fibres.

The 10g monofilament test enables the clinician  to map areas of reduced pressure perception by  exerting a specific repeatable force on test site. The 10g monofilaments are replaceable providing the user with a reliable and reproducible test.

"Patients with an inability to detect pressure from such a filament have been shown to have a five fold increased risk of foot ulceration."
