Jamar Monofilaments

Jamar Monofilaments are often recommended for diabetic patients who need to frequently test themselves for potential development of peripheral neuropathy. The reusable monofilaments are used to measure diminishing and returning sensation. Neuropathy can develop at any time and, if not tested for, can go unnoticed until other injuries or ulcers appear.

 

The monofilaments come in a wide variety of individual sizes to measure threshold of cutaneous sensory perception. Distinguish between normal, diminished light touch, diminished protective sensation, loss of protective sensation and untestable. Set of 5 Hand Monofilaments, includes one each of 2.83, 3.61, 4.31, 4.56 and 6.65. The Set of 20 Nylon Monofilaments includes instructions, storage case, and one each – 1.65, 2.36, 2.44, 2.83, 3.22, 3.61, 3.84, 4.08, 4.17, 4.31, 4.56, 4.74, 4.93, 5.07, 5.18, 5.46, 5.88, 6.10, 6.45, 6.65.

 

For hand and foot evaluations, these monofilaments provide accurate testing for presence and level of peripheral nerve involvement and skin sensitivity. Color pencils included, the monofilaments can be color-coded for easy identification during testing procedures and improved ease of access. It is recommended to clean the reusable monofilaments with an antimicrobial wipe after each patient use.
