OBJECTIVE - This independent study was designed to determine the accuracy of 10-g monofilaments manufactured and supplied by popular commercial companies.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS - A total of 160 new 10-g monofilaments (30 Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments [North Coast Medical], 30 Timesco/Sensory Testing Systems monofilaments, 50 Owen Mumford Neuropens, and 50 Bailey Instruments monofilaments) were tested using a calibrated load cell. Each monofilament was subjected to 10 mechanical bucklings of 10 mm while the load cell detected the maximum buckling force, Longevity testing was performed on a subset of the monofilaments by subjecting them to continuous compressions until the buckling force was
