Sextreme Wartenberg Wheel

Product Information

A Wartenberg Pinwheel can leave an itching effect after the play. For that reason, always have an anti-itching cream before using a Pinwheel. If the play causes a little bloodshed, clean and wipes the scene with an alcohol swab to prevent infections. Sterilize the wheel after use for safety and hygiene purposes. The Wartenberg Wheel was created to test nerve sensitivity in patients who might have brain damage. If your toes curled in one direction or another or not at all as the spikey little pinwheel rolled across the bottom of your foot, the examinier could discern what might be going on with your body. It didn’t take very long at all for tailors, hedonists, sadists, and sensualists of various persuasions to arm themselves with this very same tool. It is seen that the author (Robert Wartenberg) had not prescribed a specific technique to assess the sign. The literature describes few techniques of assessment based on the explanation given by the author.

There is an assortment of professionals that could benefit from the use of such a device. The Wartenberg Pinwheel saw widespread use in Germany before being accepted into the United States by chiropractors, orthopedists, neurosurgeons, neurologists, physical therapists, and more. From the physiological standpoint , this sign is easily understandable. Adduction of the little finger is performed by the interosseous and abduction by the hypothenar muscles. Both groups of the muscles are innervated by the ulnar nerve. However, in abduction of the little finger, the extensor digiti minimi and the branch to the little finger of extensor digitorum communis also play a definite part.These both are innervated by radial nerve. If the muscles innervated by the ulnar nerve are weak, those innervated by the intact radial nerve predominate in strength and abduct the little finger. Thus it is understandable why this abduction of the little finger is best seen when extensor digitorum communis comes into action and extends the fingers and the hand. In cases with the combined palsy of ulnar nerve and radial nerve ,this sign would not be present" explains the author. A Wartenberg Pinwheel is a medical fetish sex toy with a rotating spiked wheel that glides on the skin to stimulate nerve endings. The Pinwheel was invented as a medical tool for testing nerve sensitivity. This invention slowly found its way into the sexual arena and is used in sensational plays. The evenly-spaced wheels on this tool provide different sensations when running on various body parts. Sensation’s intensity depends on the number of wheels and the pressure you apply when using the toy. If you are a beginner, start with a one-wheeled Pinwheel and upgrade to models with a row of wheels with experience. More wheels produce intense sensations over a large area, which might be overwhelming to some first-timers.A study by Goldman et al (2009) [5] adopted the technique to assess Wartenberg's Sign - The patient is placed with wrist in neutral position and forearm fully pronated and instructed to perform full extension of all the fingers. Once digits are extended patient is asked to fully abduct all fingers and then adduct all fingers. A positive sign is indicated with the observation of abduction of the 5th digit, with the inability to adduct the 5th finger when extended. David J.

It is used by rolling the Wartenberg Pinwheel over the problem area of the body. Its ergonomic handle design and compact size make it easy to handle and appropriately use while performing a wide variety of tests, such as pain perception responses or reactivity and sensitivity of skin or nerves. No sterilization is needed, there is no possibility of cross-contamination since the product is single-use, and it's made in the United States.A cadaveric study [8] investigated the impact of the radialization of the extensor digiti minimi (EDM) at the level of the fifth metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint and reroutes it from the fifth to fourth extensor compartment. The study was done in 16 freshly frozen cadaver hands sectioned at mid-forearm.The authors concluded that the key to correct abduction deformity of the little finger is radialization of the EDM, which can be done through a solitary incision at the level of the MCP joint. Rerouting alone does not correct the abduction deformity, and in combination with radialization it does not predictably enhance the correction. The NAD Pinwheel, which is a pinwheel neurological testing device, provides a disposable solution in aiding professionals in the diagnosing of nerve damage. Dutton, M. (2008).

As there is no general consensus regarding the aetiology of the Wartenberg's sign, managment cannot be attempted for the sign alone. Hene it would be optimal to analyse the reason for the abducted posture of the little finger and can be managed accordingly. There are few surgical procedures documented for the correction of abduction deformity of the little finger.

A Wartenberg wheel, also called a Wartenberg pinwheel or Wartenberg neurowheel, is a medical device for neurological use. The wheel was designed to test nerve reactions ( sensitivity) as it rolled systematically across the skin. [1] A Wartenberg wheel is generally made of stainless steel with a handle of approximately 18 centimetres (7in) in length. The wheel, which has evenly spaced radiating sharp pins, rotates as it is rolled across the flesh. A disposable plastic version is available. Because of hygienic concerns, these devices are rarely used for medical purposes. [2] Whipping and spanking make the skin highly sensitive. Take advantage of this to introduce your wheel for further stimulation and deep orgasm. If you do not have impact play tools, including floggers, whips, and paddles, use your hand to slap, pinch or bite your lover’s nipples to heighten sensitivity. Although people focus more on whips, paddles, and floggers, the Wartenberg Pinwheels is a sensation play sex toy that is a game-changer in sensory modification. The impact of these medical fetish toys can be seen in the glowing face of the sex world. If you have always wanted to experiment with them after a stimulating experience in the hospital, this is a must-read guide for you.This is where stainless steel Wartenberg Pinwheels gain an advantage over plastic and chrome-plated iron Pinwheels. To experiment, heat the metal pinwheel in warm water or cool it in the freezer. After heating or cooling the wheel, test it on your body to confirm if the temperatures are manageable. Once you are ready, run the hot or cold toy on your lover’s sensitive spots and watch them moan in pleasure. Clothing pattern-making can use a version of the Wartenberg wheel, called a pounce wheel, to transfer markings from paper to fabric. Pounce wheels resemble standard Wartenberg wheels in shape but have wooden or plastic handles. The mere presence of this sign doesn’t warrant ulnar neuropathy as the various studies reported abducted posture of little finger in patients without ulnar nerve involvement or even without neurological involvement. A study by Kilgus et al (2003) [7] analysed the aetiology of the Wartenberg sign. In this study five cases suffering from bothersome permanent abduction of the small finger and referred under the diagnosis of ulnar nerve paresis are presented. The authors commented that the Clinical, electrodiagnostic and imaging evaluation of three neurogenic cases disclosed a lesion of the ramus profundus distal to the branches innervating hypothenar muscles in one case, ulnar nerve injury with neuromuscular hyperactivity of the abductor digiti minimi muscle following split repair in another case and syringomyelia in the third case. Two patients revealed an abduction posture of the little finger of nonneurogenic origin. One of them showed closed ligament injuries. The other patient revealed necrosis, scarring and contracture of hypothenar muscles and atrophy of the third palmar interosseous muscle following compression in a tight cast. Unlike many BDSM sex toys, using a Wartenberg Pinwheel alone is easy. If you find the right position, you can use this toy to stimulate the sensory nerves on your genitals, legs, or stomach. Use blindfolds to restrict your sense of sight for added stimulation.
