Touch-Test® Sensory Evaluators
Evaluate both Diminishing and Returning Sensation
Use these evaluators to test sensory levels and obtain objective data for accurate reporting on the status of diminishing or returning sensibility. Touch-Test® Sensory Evaluators are individually calibrated within a 5% standard deviation of a predetermined level of force. The monofilament bends when peak force threshold is reached.
The unique handle easily opens to a 90° angle for testing. When closed, the Sensory Evaluator can be carried safely in a pocket or carrying case, protecting the monofilament when not in use. Finger indentations on the handle provide a firm, comfortable hold. The Sensory Evaluator handles are marked with the corresponding color-coded pressure level.
Evaluation results can be recorded on the Hand or Foot Screening Forms (NC12750-1 and NC12749), sold separately. Thresholds include normal sensation, diminished light touch, diminished protective sensation, loss of protective sensation and deep pressure sensation only.
Available in a 5 Piece Hand Kit, a 6 Piece Foot Kit and a 20 Piece Full Kit. Each kit comes in a protective case. U.S. Patent 5,823,969.
These portable sensory evaluators are calibrated to within a 5% standard deviation of each target force.

Touch-Test™ Two-Point Discriminator
Accurately Measures Innervation Density
- This innovative design consists of two rotating, plastic disks that are joined together.
- Tests static and moving two-point discrimination of fingers, toes, or sensory flaps.
- Complete and accurate testing for two-point discrimination can be done with this single unit.
- Rounded tips are spaced at standard testing intervals from 1 to 15mm apart. A 20 and 25mm spacing also are given.
- One disk setting tests from 1 to 8mm. To change to the 9 to 15mm disk setting, just rotate the top disk until it clicks in place.
- Ideal for testing following nerve repair, grafts and innervated tissue transfer for desensitization, or to determine level of impairment.
- Easy to read and use. Ideal for the home care therapist and for patient home use.
