Description
The Wartenburg pinwheel is a clinical nerve sensory evaluator designed for tactile discrimination testing during neurological exams. The instrument features a stainless steel handle with a textured grip for controlled contact and a rotating spur wheel that makes light contact with the skin to elicit sensory responses. The overall length is 7.5 inches, enabling precise maneuvering over fingers, hands, and other exposed areas. In use, clinicians move the wheel gently across the skin to map sensory thresholds and detect dermatomal differences. The device is packaged in non-retail packaging and the packaging materials contain latex. Intended for hospital, clinic, or research settings, it supports standard exam procedures that require consistent, low-pressure stimulation. The compact form factor and metal construction support repeated use and simple cleaning routines per facility guidelines.
