Medipin

The Single-Use Protected
Neurological Examination Pin

"Medipin is an affordable and safe pin-prick device to screen for diabetic neuropathy, and appears to detect loss of protective sensation sooner than with monofilament testing" https://www.primary-care-diabetes.com/article/S1751-9918(24)00201-8/fulltext
For Rapid, Safe, Cost Effective Identification and Relative Quantification of Early Stage Diabetic Neuropathy
An instrument of 2 elements combined to promote test accuracy:
A precision DEVICE designed to optimize pinprick perception for test sensitivity and a dedicated TECHNIQUE, developed to refine test specificity for which the device was conceived.
Advantages
Earlier Diagnosis
This INNOVATIVE INSTRUMENT COMBINES DEVICE SENSITIVITY with TECHNIQUE SPECIFICITY for EARLIER DIAGNOSIS – IN SECONDS
Advanced Infection Control & Disposability
The annulus reduces risk of SKIN PENETRATION, shields against 'NEEDLE STICK' and the plastic point is easily neutralised by COMPRESSION against a hard surface after use.
Superior Accuracy & Efficient Precision Handling
MEDIPIN is DESIGNED to STREAMLINE MANUAL APPLICATION of a PLATEAUED & FACETED POINT which safely promotes ACUTE DELINEATION & STIMULATORY SKIN STRETCH whilst the ANNULUS ENHANCES TEST PERCEPTION by generating a ‘CENTER SURROUND’ field of LATERAL INHIBITION
Convenience
The Clinically Clean Point is exposed by a simple snap and as easily rendered 'safe'
MEDIPIN is ideal for standard visual testing both for Scotoma and Peripheral loss.
Compliance
Medipin is an MHRA and FDA listed Class I Medical Device which is fully compliant with MHRA (UK), 21 CFR Part 820 and MDR (EU) regulations with ISO 14971 and voluntarily with 13485.
It has been in use in the UK, U.S and EU for many years as well as having been employed as a standard instrument in numerous international studies.

Faceted Point in Annulus
Intuitive Design
Spherical Head for Visual Acuity
An annulus surrounds the faceted point to safely intensify perception of the sharp stimulus through a central nervous system enhancement phenomenon called lateral inhibition and serves to standardize point pressure and improve test consistency by limiting skin penetration and risk of puncture – especially on fragile skin.

Combined with an intuitive design to facilitate ease of handling Medipin’s annulus also offers protection against self-inflicted ‘needle-stick’ cross-infection and the point is readily eliminated by simple compression against a hard surface where conventional disposal is not possible.

The spherical head and bright red colour makes it a useful visual testing aid and plastic construction ensures unusually long shelf life. A dedicated tool at exceptional value supplied in boxes of 100 sterilized Medipins.
SINGLE-USE PROTECTED NEUROLOGICAL PIN
The disposable precision instrument of choice
Neurophysiologically enhanced pinprick stimulus for consistently superior response at reduced application pressures even in existing neuropathy.
Enhanced infection control by shielding and
inhibiting penetration of the point.

Designed to Optimize Pinprick Perception Without Piercing Delicate Skin Medipin is the professional Neurological Examination Pin designed to clinically enhance accuracy, safety and versatility – a single-use precision instrument
Medipin safely heightens precision by surrounding it’s faceted point with an annulus to promote enhanced pinprick perception through lateral inhibition, test consistency and accuracy whilst limiting skin penetration and risk of puncture – especially on fragile skin.
Combined with an intuitive design to facilitate ease of handling Medipin’s annulus also offers protection against self-inflicted 'needle-stick' cross-infection and the point is readily eliminated by simple compression against a hard surface where conventional disposal is not possible.
The spherical head and bright red colour make it a useful visual testing aid and plastic construction ensures virtually perpetually unlimited shelf life.
