Knee Hammer
- Reflex hammer with a plastic handle and an interchangeable screw fitting.
- The reflex hammer is a medical instrument used by practitioners to test deep tendon reflexes.
- Testing for reflexes is an important part of the neurological physical examination in order to detect abnormalities in the central or peripheral nervous system.
- The hammer elicits myotatic and plantar responses with less effort and greater patient comfort.
- The precisely balanced handle offers increased control of percussion force. Thermo-plastic-rubber triangular head has beveled apex and base employed to elicit myotatic reflex. The soft base and rounded apex is perfectly suited in provoking myotatic responses in striking precise location of tendons. Also suited to obtain chest sounds and to percuss the abdomen. The weighted chrome-plated handle is precisely balanced for increased control of force in the percussion. The encircling band of handle with pin firmly secures the triangular head midway between the apex and base. The handle is also designed with a pointed tip and brush for eliciting cutaneous and plantar reflexes.
