The 10g monofilament test enables the clinician to map areas of reduced pressure perception by exerting a specific, repeatable force on the test site. 1. Baker N and Kenny, C. (2016). Prevention, screening and referral of the diabetic foot in primary care. UK. Diabetes & Primary Care Vol 18 (5). 234-242.
Q. How do you use a Neuropen?
- How to use Neuropen®
- Assessing protective touch/pressure.
- Press the monofilament at a 90° angle to the skin surface (figure 1) and increase the pressure until it bows (figure 2).
- Patients unable to detect the monofilament are at a seven-fold risk of foot ulceration.

Q. Why do you need a 10G monofilament for Neurotip?
Enables the clinician to map areas of reduced pressure perception by exerting a specific meaurable force on the test site. Replaceable 10g monofilaments provide users with a reliable and reproducable test.
Neuropen is an effective screening aid, which combines two calibrated tests enabling the clinician to identify those patients most at risk of foot ulceration, when used in conjunction with symptomatic and clinical assessments. Enables the clinician to map areas of reduced pressure perception by exerting a specific meaurable force on the test site.
