The Monofilament 5.07/10 g (25-pack) is a clinical sensory testing device designed specifically for screening peripheral neuropathy and assessing risk for diabetic foot ulcers. A monofilament of size “5.07” calibrated to apply approximately 10 grams of force when bowed into a “C” shape, this tool is globally recognized for evaluating loss of protective sensation (LOPS) in the feet.
Each single-use filament features a fine nylon thread that buckles at the 10 g threshold, helping clinicians determine whether the patient’s plantar skin can still sense sufficient pressure to avoid ulceration risk. The pack of 25 makes this an efficient choice for podiatry clinics, diabetic screening programs, outpatient wound-care, and preventive foot-care protocols.
Key Features & Benefits

Calibrated 5.07 filament = 10 g force when bent into “C” shape — standard for neuropathy screening.
-
Helps identify patients at increased risk of foot ulcers due to sensory loss.
-
Single-use or disposable format supports infection control in high-throughput settings.
-
Compact pack of 25 allows cost-effective screening for multiple patients.
-
Lightweight, portable tool — ideal for clinics, nursing homes, or mobile care units.
