The FOOTSENSER is a monofilament mounted on a card that can be folded to function as a handle. It is a device for a simple, accurate, and cost-effective sensory test, particularly on the plantar surface of the foot. Diabetic Neuropathy is one of the most common complications of diabetes. It results in the loss of protective sensation which signals pain and helps patients avoid injuries that can lead to foot ulcers. Often, foot ulcers end tragically with amputation.
The FOOTSENSER monofilament is calibrated to the accepted standard of 10 grams of linear pressure. The card contains all the information necessary for the medical practitioner to accurately assess whether the patient with diabetes has begun to develop neuropathy. If neuropathy is detected early, preventive foot care measure can help patients avoid injuries, ulcers and amputation.
