Product Name: Neuropathy Assessment Kit

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 (or more pragmatically, clinically significant loss of protective sensation) and taking action before any breach in the epithelium is of enormous import in any screening and treatment program designed to prevent amputation. Several modalities have been advocated to assist in this endeavour. Current research promotes early detection of neuropathy so that secondary prevention measures, such as intensive foot-care education and treatment, can be used for individuals.
