  • Neurological pin
    Patent number: 5511555
    Abstract: A neurological pin includes a shaft with a sharp end and a blunt end. The sharp end is surrounded by an element defining an annular surface traversing the axis of the shaft. The blunt end is normally defined by a spherical body and typically, the diameter of the sphere will be substantially equal to that of the annular surface. The element defining the annular surface is frustro-conical, tapering towards the blunt end. The provision of the annular surface at the sharp end of the shaft substantially eliminates the risk of piercing a patient's skin during normal use, while facilitating the application of consistent pressure on the skin.
