SAFETY and PRECISION
Timely diagnosis of alterations, as they occur in the peripheral nerves, is essential for prevention of disabilities in cases of diabetic, toxic, alcoholic or leprosy neuropathies.
The loss of protective sensation in the hands and feet increases the risk of lesions, ulcers and sores that may provoke deformities and irreversible physical damage, which could make amputation inevitable.
The Aesthesiometer is an instrument that enables quantification of the threshold of skin touch sensitivity.
As a quantitative test, the filaments permit an effective means of detecting alterations and accompanying the evolution of neural lesions.
