Neuropen - Dual-Test Peripheral Neuropathy Screening Device
An effective aid to peripheral neuropathy foot screening. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is one of the most common complications of diabetes, potentially leading to loss of sensation, foot ulcerations and eventually amputation¹. Treatment of these complications can be expensive² yet many are avoidable³, making early identification and intervention key to improving patient outcomes and reducing health costs.
Neuropen is the only peripheral neuropathy screening device incorporating both pressure and sharpness tests, giving clinicians a simple, compact solution for testing
large and small nerve fibres in the foot.
Peripheral neuropathy cannot be excluded without regular foot screening in conjunction with symptomatic and clinical assessments.
Neuropen is an effective aid to this screening programme, meeting and exceeding current practices by being the first dual-purpose, pocket-sized device designed to provide a safe and reliable test.
- The Neuropen?is a reusable device that can deliver:
- A 10g pressure test using Neuropen Monofilaments?to assess any reduction in sensation in the tested area.
- A 40g sharpness test using Neurotips?single use neurological examination pins, to assess reduced sensation to sharpness/pain in small nerve fibers.
