Diabetic Foot Monofilament Test Pen – Retractable Neuropathy Diagnostic Tool for Pressure & Sensation Screening
Protect Diabetic Feet Before Problems Start
Diabetic neuropathy silently steals sensation — and without regular screening, foot ulcers and worse can follow. This retractable monofilament test pen gives you a simple, clinically recognized way to check foot pressure sensitivity at home or in a clinical setting, helping you catch warning signs early.

How to Use
- Extend the nylon wire from the retractable pen
- Apply the tip perpendicularly to the skin on the foot sole

- Repeat across key pressure points on the foot
- Document results and consult a healthcare provider if sensation is absent
