Electronic Von Frey Anesthesiometer Probe & Rigid Tips
Assessing mechanical allodynia with 15 SuperTips The original Electronic von Frey is used to assess mechanical allodynia with rigid tips (threshold) and the “Supertips™” (flexible von Frey hairs) are used for sensory tests on all test subjects. The 2390 series enables researchers to plug up to 3 probes into a single unit. Multiple users can use one single unit for multiple studies. Our system is the first system introduced to the market over 10 years ago which finally allows researchers the ability to test and automatically record pain threshold values in a clean, accurate easy-to-use compact system. The systems are supplied with either a 90, 800 or 1000 gram probe. Probe type is determined by test subject. When studies call for pain threshold, rigid tips are used when measuring sensory threshold one of the 15 Supertips™ are used. The IITC hairs are unique in design - each hair has a uniform tip of .8mm in diameter, eliminating the possibility of false readings that may occur due to th
