The Wartenberg Pinwheel is a reusable clinical examination instrument used for superficial sensory and pinprick testing. Its rotating pinwheel design allows the examiner to move a series of points across the skin when assessing cutaneous sensation and comparing sensory response between different anatomical areas.
The current Peak Surgicals model is identified as PS-8402 and is manufactured from German stainless steel. The live storefront provides a selectable Size option and lists satin, dull, and mirror finish choices for this reusable instrument.
The Wartenberg pinwheel pattern is associated with examination of superficial sensation. During an appropriate neurological examination, the wheel is rolled across selected areas of the skin to provide a series of controlled pinprick-type stimuli.
The patient's response can then be compared across symmetrical areas or along relevant sensory distributions as part of a broader clinical examination. Interpretation of findings should be performed by an appropriately trained healthcare professional.
Wartenberg pinwheels are commonly used within neurological examination and sensory-assessment settings. Pinprick sensation forms part of the clinical evaluation of superficial sensory function and can help clinicians identify areas of altered sensation that require further assessment.
The instrument is a physical examination tool and should not be treated as a standalone diagnostic device. Findings are interpreted together with the patient's history and the remainder of the neurological examination.
The defining feature of a Wartenberg instrument is its rotating pinwheel working end. As the wheel moves across the skin, the individual points provide sequential contact along the tested area.
The current Peak Surgicals page does not specify the exact number of pins, wheel diameter, individual pin length, or detailed wheel geometry for PS-8402. These specifications should therefore be confirmed before ordering if a particular pinwheel configuration is required.
The current Peak Surgicals specification identifies German stainless steel as the material used for PS-8402. The metallic construction provides a rigid reusable instrument suitable for professional clinical handling.
The exact stainless-steel alloy grade is not stated on the current product page. Hospitals, clinics, distributors, and procurement teams requiring a specific steel specification or material certificate should confirm that information before ordering.
Peak Surgicals specifically lists the Wartenberg Pinwheel as reusable. The instrument should therefore be cleaned, inspected, and processed according to applicable manufacturer instructions and the healthcare facility's instrument-care procedures before subsequent use.
Particular attention should be given to the rotating wheel and individual points. Before use, the wheel should rotate appropriately and the working end should be inspected for deformation, damage, corrosion, retained material, or other conditions that could interfere with examination.
The live Peak Surgicals storefront includes a Size selector for the Wartenberg Pinwheel, indicating that selectable configurations are available.
The exact size values are not exposed in the currently accessible product information. Buyers requiring a specific overall length, wheel diameter, or handle dimension should therefore confirm the selected configuration before ordering.
The current product specification lists satin, dull, and mirror finish options. These surface choices allow healthcare facilities, distributors, and instrument buyers to select a finish that matches their purchasing requirements or existing clinical instrument inventory.
If a particular finish is required, it should be confirmed when placing the order.
The Wartenberg Pinwheel can be incorporated into neurological and general clinical examination sets used for assessment of superficial cutaneous sensation. It may be used alongside other examination methods when evaluating sensory function.
The exact testing technique, anatomical sites, stimulus intensity, and interpretation of findings should be determined by the examining clinician according to the patient's presentation and clinical protocol.

The Wartenberg Pinwheel is relevant for neurology clinics, hospitals, physician examination rooms, rehabilitation settings, medical distributors, and procurement teams sourcing reusable sensory-examination instruments.
For accurate purchasing and inventory identification, buyers can reference PS-8402, German stainless-steel construction, and the required Size and finish configuration. Buyers requiring exact overall length, wheel diameter, pin count, pin dimensions, or stainless-steel alloy grade should confirm those specifications before ordering because they are not stated on the current Peak Surgicals page.
A Wartenberg Pinwheel is used during clinical sensory examination to provide sequential pinprick-type stimulation across the skin and assess superficial sensation.
The current model number is PS-8402.
The current Peak Surgicals specification lists German stainless steel.
Yes. Peak Surgicals specifically identifies PS-8402 as a reusable instrument.
The current Peak Surgicals page does not specify the exact number of pins for PS-8402, so a pin count should not be assumed from another manufacturer's Wartenberg wheel.
The live storefront includes a Size selector, but exact selectable dimensions are not exposed in the current product information. The required configuration should therefore be confirmed before ordering.
