Medipin - The Diabetic Toes Test - Box of 12 - Tester for Early Onset Small Fiber Foot Neuropathy
Pinprick or sharp sensation test is acknowledged and recommended by the ADA as a useful and sensitive method of testing for Loss Of Protective Sensation and predicting serious complications associated with diabetes.(1,2) Medipin is a unique single use cutaneous pinprick testing device. Its patented precision technology enhances patient pinprick sensation response. Each Medipin has a short cone shaped point designed to stretch rather than penetrate the skin surface. The point is surrounded by an annular ring that provides a contrasting perimeter of dull stimulation and prevents skin puncture. The tab, which protects the point integrity until it is ready to be used, is designed to break away and can be used to conduct a two-point discrimination (6mm) test. The blunt end head of the Medipin may be used for comparison testing. An FDA listed instrument, Medipin has been in regular use by US Doctors for many years, as well has having been employed successfully in quite a number of international medical studies. 1) Boulton et al, Comprehensive Foot Examination And Risk Assessment, Diabetes Care, Vol 31, No 8, Aug 2008. 2) Abbott CA, Carrington AL, Ashe H, for the North-West Diabetes Foot Care Study.
