Wartenberg Pinwheel
Constructed of surgical-grade stainless steel, our Wartenberg Pinwheel is a precision diagnostic instrument used for neurological examinations. Originally developed by Dr. Robert Wartenberg in the early 20th century, this tool is designed to test nerve reactions and sensory responses by systematically rolling its spiked wheel across the skin. Also known also as a Wartenberg neurowheel, it remains a staple in medical settings due to its effectiveness and reliability.
- Features evenly spaced sharp pins that provide consistent stimulation during neurological tests.
- Designed with a non-slip handle, offering a comfortable grip for precise control.
- Lightweight and easy to maneuver
The Wartenberg Pinwheel can be used for several types of procedures:
- Neurological Testing: Essential for evaluating nerve sensitivity and response, helping in the diagnosis of neurological conditions.
- Physical Therapy: Used by therapists to assess nerve function and progress during rehabilitation.
- Medical Examinations: Employed by clinicians to detect areas of reduced sensation or nerve damage.
- Education and Training: Utilized in medical training programs to teach students about sensory response and nerve function.
