bulletFrom the WEB -- These monofilaments are used to test nerve responses in the hands and feet. The Weinstein Enhanced Sensory Test (WEST) consists of five colour-coded monofilaments mounted on a steel shaft. Each monofilament corresponds to a specific test level. Two or more monofilaments can be positioned for testing at the same time, which saves time between tests, and minimises the possibility of damaging the filaments.

This product comes with a case, a manual, test forms, and free calibration for one year. There are two versions of this kit available, one is suitable for testing hand sensitivity and the other is used to test the feet.
