Description
The Medline Diabetic Neuropathy Monofilament is a straightforward clinical tool used to evaluate protective sensation in patients living with diabetes. By applying a calibrated filament pressure to the plantar surface of the foot, clinicians can identify areas of diminished sensation that signal peripheral neuropathy — a key risk factor for diabetic foot ulcers and amputation. Latex-free construction makes it suitable for patients with latex sensitivities.
