Bailey Monofilament Sensory Testing Pen (10 g Retractable)
The Bailey Monofilament Sensory Testing Pen is an essential diagnostic tool for evaluating protective sensation loss, particularly in diabetic patients. Designed with precision and clinician convenience in mind, this handheld device features a calibrated 10 g nylon monofilament housed within a durable, retractable pen-style casing.
When activated, the monofilament applies a consistent 10-gram force by buckling—a scientifically standard method to assess sensory nerve function. The retractable design protects the filament from damage and ensures hygiene.

The Bailey Monofilament is an instrument used for testing peripheral neuropathy. It does this by applying a specific force to a point on the skin to assess the sensitivity of the skin at that point. The force applied is determined by the buckling load of the monofilament, which is transferred to the point of contact.
The load applied to a monofilament may be increased until it buckles, after which a constant force is transferred to the point of contact. The actual force applied is determined by the length and the diameter of the monofilament and by the mechanical properties of the material.
