Clinical Application
Designed for quantitative assessment of cutaneous tactile sensitivity, this instrument is intended for clinic and perioperative use where documented sensory mapping or two‑point discrimination screening is required. It is commonly used to establish baseline sensation before reconstructive or peripheral nerve procedures, to monitor recovery after nerve repair, and for focused neurologic examinations in outpatient settings. The focused contact tip allows clinicians to apply reproducible focal stimuli to defined skin areas for comparison across dermatomes or surgical sites.
Design & Configuration
The compact 9 cm handheld form provides tactile control and fine motor precision during bedside or outpatient testing. A single blunt contact tip concentrates the contact force to a small area, improving the examiner's ability to deliver repeatable stimuli without causing tissue injury. The simple probe geometry makes it easy to position at standard anatomical landmarks and to perform serial assessments for preoperative documentation and postoperative follow-up.
