What is a Wartenberg wheel

A Wartenberg wheel is generally made of stainless steel with a handle about 18 centimeters (7 inches) long. The wheel, which has evenly spaced, radiating sharp pins, rotates as it is rolled over the meat. A disposable plastic version is available. For hygienic reasons, these devices are rarely used for medical purposes.

Robert Wartenberg, the namesake of the Wartenberg wheel, is sometimes incorrectly credited as its inventor. According to Wartenberg himself, the device was widely used in Europe when he lived in Germany. Although he did not invent it, he considered it "an indispensable piece of equipment for daily neurological practice" and recommended its use to his colleagues in the US.

The Wartenberg Wheel is also used as a sensation sex toy and is often used to tickle a person (also called a 'lee', short for 'ticklee') in the act of tickle fetishism. It is sometimes used in other situations while connected to a violet wand electrical device.

When making garment patterns, a version of the Wartenberg wheel called a pounce wheel can be used to transfer markings from paper to fabric. Pounce wheels are similar in shape to standard Wartenberg wheels, but have wooden or plastic handles.
