Neurotips Neurological Examination Pins

Neurotips are disposable, single-use pins designed for sensory testing during a neurological exam. Clinicians use them to assess a patient's response to sharp versus dull sensation—part of screening for peripheral neuropathy, nerve damage, altered pain perception, and dermatome mapping. Because they're disposable, they eliminate the cross-contamination risk that comes with reusing a metal pin or a hypodermic needle across patients.

The Owen Mumford Neurotips (NT 5405) pair with the Neuropen and other compatible sensory testing handles, giving the examiner a consistent, controlled stimulus. Each tip delivers a defined point without breaking the skin, so you get reliable pinprick testing without drawing blood—an important distinction from improvised sharps that carry infection and needlestick concerns.

A common question is how many you need: Neurotips are meant to be discarded after a single patient, so facilities running routine diabetic foot screenings, pre-op assessments, or ongoing neuro checks typically stock them in volume. They're a small consumable that supports safe, repeatable testing across a busy clinic or ward.

Neurotips fit naturally alongside other bedside assessment tools. Browse our broader Diagnostics range for related examination instruments, or return to the Honest Medical homepage to explore more clinical supplies.
