The Axotouch Two-Point Discriminator tool is a set of two aluminum discs, each containing a series of prongs spaced between 2 to 15 mm apart. Additionally, 20 and 25 mm spacing is also provided. A circular depression on either side of the disc allows ease of rotation. The discs can be rotated between a single prong for testing one-point and any of the other spaced prongs for testing two-point intervals with ease.
INDICATIONS FOR USE: Use the Axotouch Two-Point Discriminator tool to measure the innervation density of any surface area of the skin. The discs are useful for measuring sensation after a nerve injury, following the progression of a repaired nerve and during the evaluation of a person with a possible nerve injury, such as nerve transection or nerve compression.
CONTRAINDICATIONS: None known.
PRECAUTIONS: Not recommended for open wounds or inflamed areas.
