MONOFILAMENT WITH DURABAN RETRACTABLE 10 GRAM (5.07MM)

Description:

Monofilament with Duraban 10g - Bailey Neuropen Peripheral Neuropathy
Screening Device Monofilaments 10g. For Neuropen - Box of 5.

The Baileys Monofilament is an instrument used for testing peripheral neuropathy. It does this by applying
a specific force to a point on the skin to assess the sensitivity of the skin at that point. The force applied
is determined by the buckling load of the monofilament, which is transfered to the point of contact.

The load applied to a monofilament may be increased until it buckles, after which a constant force is transferred
to the point of contact. The actual force applied is determined by the length and diameter of the monofilament
and by the mechanical properties of the material. The length and diameter are carefully controlled in manufacturing.
The monofilament material has been carefully selected for it's consistent mechanical properties over a range of
environmental conditions.
