The Reflex Hammer is an important diagnostic tool used by physicians to test deep tendon reflexes. It is an essential part of the neurological physical examination in order to assess the peripheral and central nervous system. It features a triangular, latex-free rubber head and a durable chrome-plated handle. This tool facilitates precise and consistent percussion of tendons to assess neurological system function
- Design: Triangular rubber head (ideal for striking tendons) and a long, balanced metal handle for better control and reduced user fatigue.
- Function: Tests tendon reflexes at the knee (patellar), elbow (biceps/triceps), and wrist (brachioradialis).
- Clinical Application: Used by doctors, nurses, and students for neurological examinations to detect central or peripheral nervous system abnormalities.
- Versatility: The tapered tip can be used for checking reflexes, while the handle can be used for cutaneous tests.
