Description
The Owen Mumford Neuropen Monofilaments are the replacement 10g filaments for the Neuropen screening device, restoring the calibrated pressure test that identifies areas of reduced pressure sensitivity in the diabetic foot. Fresh filaments keep the applied force consistent and repeatable, which is what makes screening results comparable between visits and clinicians.
- Calibrated 10g Force – Each filament delivers the standard 10g pressure used to test protective sensation.
- Device Matched Fit – The filaments are made for the Neuropen device, so seating and deflection stay as designed.
- Five per Box – The box of five keeps a screening clinic stocked through regular replacement cycles.
About This Neuropen Monofilaments
Monofilaments wear with use, and a tired filament no longer buckles at its rated force, which quietly corrupts a screening program. Replacing filaments on schedule keeps the Neuropen test honest, with the same consistent force at every site on every foot. The manufacturer describes the 10g test as the way professionals identify areas with reduced pressure sensitivity.
These replacements slot into the existing Neuropen device used across the screening program. Keeping spares on hand means a damaged filament never cancels a clinic list. Precise testing and assessments support diabetes care programs, per the manufacturer positioning for the range.
Features and Benefits
Test Integrity
- Consistent Force – A fresh filament applies a consistent and repeatable force to the testing site.
- Genuine Fit – Manufacturer filaments preserve the deflection behavior the device was calibrated around.
Program Support
- Clinic Stock – Five filaments per box covers planned replacements for a screening service.
- Range Matched – The filaments pair with the Neuropen device and Neurotips in one screening system.

Why Choose This Monofilaments
A screening program is only as good as its consumables, and the monofilament is the part that silently ages out. Genuine replacements keep the 10g standard real instead of assumed.
- Trustworthy Results – Fresh calibrated filaments keep reduced sensation findings real and repeatable.
- No Cancelled Clinics – Spare filaments on the shelf keep screening lists running when one is damaged.
- Device Matched Consumable – These are the filaments the Neuropen was designed around, a differentiator over generic 10g filaments of unverified tolerance.
Manuals and Troubleshooting Guides
Frequently Asked Questions
What force do the filaments apply?
Each filament is rated at 10g, the standard force for protective sensation testing. It buckles at that force when pressed against the testing site.
Which device do they fit?
They are replacement filaments for the Neuropen screening device. They are not interchangeable with unrelated monofilament handles.
How many come in a box?
Five monofilaments come in each box. That suits scheduled replacement across a screening clinic.
When should a filament be replaced?
Replace filaments that are bent, damaged or no longer buckling cleanly. Worn filaments change the applied force and undermine the test.
What do the filaments test?
They test pressure sensitivity, identifying areas of the foot with reduced sensation. Results feed the wider diabetic foot assessment.
Are they sold sterile?
They are supplied as professional screening consumables for the Neuropen system. Follow the range leaflet for handling in clinic use.
