Specification
The Bailey Retractable Monofilament 10g is a reusable clinical sensory testing tool designed to help healthcare professionals assess loss of protective sensation in the feet and lower limbs. It delivers a standardised 10g buckling force, equivalent to size 5.07 on the logarithmic scale, for consistent peripheral neuropathy and diabetic foot screening.
Compact and lightweight, the Bailey 10g monofilament features a retractable filament, protective housing and built-in pocket clip to help prevent bending or damage between examinations. Its Duraban antimicrobial material helps reduce cross-infection risk, making it a practical choice for podiatrists, physiotherapists, general practitioners, diabetes clinics, aged care providers and home healthcare professionals across Australia.
