The monofilament comes in the form of card support to which is attached a calibrated nylon filament. The gauge used for screening for the risk of ulcerative lesions is gauge 5.07. Placed perpendicular to the patient's skin, it curves when a force of 10 grams is applied.
Perception of 5.07 monofilament is considered the "protective" plantar sensitivity level, that is, the level of plantar sensitivity at which the patient is not at risk of ulcerative injury. Disposable individual 5.07 - 10 gram monofilament. An accurate method by which both diminishing and returning sensation can be evaluated.
