West Monofilament Aestheiometer
The West Monofilament Aestheiometer by West. The Weinstein Enhanced Sensory Test (WEST), an improved version of the Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments, uses five monofilaments to measure skin sensitivity and determine peripheral nerve involvement. WEST monofilaments provide reliable test results with textured, round monofilament tips. The five-monofilament instrument is damage resistant. Two or more filaments can be in position for testing. Measures 6” by 3” (15 x 7.6cm) in the storing position. Includes case (4½” by 6½” [11 x 17cm], test form and manual). WEST hand and foot monofilaments are individually calibrated for applied grams of force: 0.07, 0.2, 2, 4, 2/3, and are selectable.
The "WEST-D" provides an evaluation range from reduced tactile sensation on the face all the way up to loss of protective sensation of the foot. It makes an ideal instrument for those who must test tactual sensation at various locations. WEST-D monofilaments are calibrated for 0.025, 0.07, 2, and 10 grams of force. The WEST-D comes with a manual, soft case and clicker to mark the interval of potential stimulation.
