Wartenberg wheel
A Wartenberg wheel is a type of medical device that has evenly spaced rotating pins that helps to test or stimulate the nerve endings on the skin as it rotates on the skin. Invented by Robert Wartenberg (1887–1956), it was designed the wheel to test nerve reactions (sensitivity) as it rolled systematically across the skin. The Wartenberg wheel is also used as a BDSM or sensation sex toy.
