Monofilament Sensory Test Semmes Weinstein. Helps identify patients at risk of developing diabetic foot ulcers Not Made with Natural Rubber Latex. The Semmes-Weinstein Monofilament test is a sensory assessment tool. Sensory examination should be carried out in a quiet and relaxed setting. This assessment tool consists of a set of monofilaments that vary in thickness and diameter the gradient forces of these monofilaments ranges from 086 gm to 448gm.
The Weinstein Enhanced Sensory Test WEST was developed as an improved instrument. Monofilament is a portable strand made of nylon which is used to check sensation in the limbs in diabetic patients and in patients with other neuropathic conditions.

Size 408 10 Gram Tactile Monofilament Semmes-Weinstein Test The 408 size monofilament is designe. Following review and discussion regarding the minikit filaments and a prototype set that placed the minikit monofilaments in one holder Weinstein one of the original authors of the Semmes-Weinstein monofilament test added nonslip coating and a rounded tip less fragile handle and certified the monofilament. At present several methods for measuring the tactile sensitivity are clinically used in diabetic peripheral neuropathy screening.

One of these methods is a touch test that uses a device with nylon SWMs i. Ieder filament wordt loodrecht op de huid geplaatst en de druk wordt opgevoerd tot het filament een C-bocht maakt.
