There is disclosed a device for testing tactile sensitivity of tissue, such as nasal mucosa, comprising an elongated portion to which there is attached a thread. The thread is adapted to be brought into contact with the tissue to be tested, wherein the thread is curved or otherwise bent so as to define a lateral contact point away from the axis of the elongated portion. Preferably, the thread is axially attached to the elongated portion, and exhibits a curvature or bent to define a lateral contact point about 10 mm or less away from the axis of the elongated portion. |
