Two-point discrimination devices are commonly used to gauge whether a patient is able to truly recognize the distinction between two points of contact occurring on the skin. The points are used to provide a measure of tactile spatial acuity. Areas of the body differ in the spatial acuity and have different standard measures between the areas. Using a discrimination device can reveal damaged nerve pathways or peripheral nerves.
The plastic Baseline Two Point Discrimination Devices are ideal for minimizing the amount of influence temperature has on the perception of contact felt by the patient. The stainless steel Baseline® Two Point Discrimination Device provides a sturdy long lasting device that folds for easy storage and transportation without risk of damage to the contact tips.
The Two Point Discrimination Device with 3rd Point provides a means to alternate between single and double point stimulation without requiring that the settings be adjusted. This allows for faster testing and transitions between contact tests.
