Medical Monofilaments 5.07 / 10gm - Item Code: MF10GM
One of the frequent causes of non-traumatic lower-limb amputation is Diabetes and is usually preceded by foot ulcer and infection. The reason of this ulceration is commonly a loss of protective sensation due to peripheral neuropathy, for which there is no prevention strategy. In an effort to standardize and simplify the detection of insensate foot, the 5.07/10-gm Monofilament is recommended by the International Diabetes Federation and the World Health Organization as a device that can be used by health professionals at every level of care.
How to use the 10g Monofilament?
- Bend the monofilament a couple of times before using it every day to remove any residual stiffness.
- Explain to the patient about the test and ask the patient to close their eyes and say ‘yes’, every time they feel the touch in their feet no matter how lightly they perceive the touch.
- Place the monofilament at perpendicular to the skin surface and slowly push the monofilament until it bends. Hold for 1-2 seconds and release. Do not jab the skin with the monofilament.
- Repeat this for all testing sites on both feet and record your findings. They should feel in most of the sites for a normal person.

Portable Vibration Sense Device Product Code: VIBRATIP
Vibration sense is typically one of the first sensory modalities to be impaired as peripheral neuropathy develops in patients with Diabetes. Vibratip is a device that provides a near-silent vibration of consistent amplitude at a frequency like that of a calibrated tuning fork. It is intended for use when testing a person’s vibration perception during routine checks for diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) in people who have type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
Features
- The Vibratip test for DPN is more consistent compared to a tuning fork test.
- Vibrates at 125Hz.
- When vibration is not felt, indicates the loss of VPT
- Validated tool from UK
- Simple and effective tool to grade loss of VPT

Neuropathy Assessment Basic Kit Product Code: NA03
Peripheral neuropathy is the prime pathogenic ingredient in the recipe for diabetic foot ulceration. Ulceration, in turn, is the key factor that may precipitate a cascade of events leading to lower-extremity amputation. Clearly, identifying the presence of neuropathy and acting before any breach in the epithelium is of enormous importance in any screening and treatment program designed to prevent amputation.
Features
- 5.07/10gm Monofilament to test the loss of protective touch sense – 25 units
- Portable vibration sense device Vibratip to test the loss of VPT – 1 unit
- Portable thermal sense device Tiptherm to test the loss of thermal sense – 1 unit
- Packed in a carton with instructions to use
- Customization of the carton for large quantities.

Digital Biothesiometer Product Code: VIBROTEST Lx
Vibration perception threshold (VPT) has been shown to be strongly associated with foot ulceration. VPT determination by using a Digital Biothesiometer has been used to identify peripheral sensory neuropathy and subjects at risk of foot. Digital Biothesiometer helps us quantitate the threshold and monitor progressive changes or trends on following up testing. Early detection of vibration perception threshold (VPT) helps better prevention.
Features
- Easy tool to quantify neuropathy.
- Digital 0 to 50 Volts indicator
- Computer connectivity and software for reporting with 10gm Monofilament
- Products tested by International accredited test lab for safety
- 230V, AC, 50Hz Mains operation (110V, AC, 60Hz option)

Diabetic Foot Analyser Product Code: VIBRODOP
Vibrodop device is a combination of Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) Doppler and a Digital Biothesiometer. The Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) is a measure of the severity of atherosclerosis in the legs but is also an independent indicator of the risk of subsequent atherothrombotic events elsewhere in the vascular system. Vibration Perception Threshold (VPT) has been shown to be strongly associated with foot ulceration. VPT determination has been used to identify peripheral sensory neuropathy. Early detection helps better prevention. 50% of all non-traumatic amputations occur in diabetes who is a high-risk group.
Features
- Unidirectional 8MHz Vascular Probe
- ABI measurement as per TASC II guidelines
- Easy tool to quantify neuropathy.
- Digital 0 to 50 Volts indicator
- Computer Connectivity and Software for ABI and VPT with Monofilament 10gm
