monofilament

TechnicalRegister
A thin, flexible fibre pressed against the skin to test whether protective sensation is present.
When the patient could not feel the monofilament on several sites, we recorded a loss of protective sensation.
Rarity runs from 0 (a word everyone knows) to 100 (almost never seen outside specialist or literary writing). Level is the word's real difficulty on the CEFR scale, from A1 to C2.
