Timely Neuropathy Testing To Our Valued Customers: The Semmes-Weinstein style monofilaments have been found to be one of the most objective tests of sensibility, if not the most objective. This simple test requiring little time for screening and monitoring, can identify abnormality, degrees of diminution in touch-pressure response, and the direction of change in nerve status. Our company is making sets to specifications used in normative studies of the hands and feet. We intend to keep the price low to make sets more widely available for testing in US and abroad: TNT1st Color Monofilaments™: set of 6 monofilaments, $89.00; set of 5 monofilaments, $74.00; and individual monofilament (in 6 sizes) $15.00; plus tax and shipping. (Introductory prices) Order online, or by Fax 1 800 755 - 5102 USA. We also offer Clear Vision Reveals™, an amazing thermoplastic product has been around, but its best properties often go unrecognized and underused. Once understood, 98% of therapists queried in splint workshops preferred the adherent material to the coated non-adherent for most splinting needs. This material you can see through while molding, adheres to the hand or other body part until cool, so you have two hands free to cut, trim, and mold the material while it is on the patient This shortens completion time, and improves fit. The adherent splint can easily conform to the extremity optimally positioned for design, rather than being positioned to use gravity to keep the material on the part being splinted, or having to hold the material against the skin and avoid pressure points while molding. You may never use anything else because it’s like having a 3rd hand. In cases where adherence is not desired, the coated non-adherent material is also available and still provides superior conformation to the part being splinted. For CVA and spastic patients, there is a less stretch version that is better. Purchase 1/8", 18" x 24 sheets in adherent or coated $57.75 each, plus tax and shipping.

Some of the profit from our products is also goes toward funding further research into early and accurate assessment of patients with peripheral nerve impairment. Our company supports the need for early detection of persons with peripheral nerve problems, and therapist education in testing and splinting. Don’t miss new Nite Lite
