Buck neurological hammer telescopic 18cm

Clinical Application

Designed for standardized neurologic assessment, this telescopic Buck hammer is used to elicit deep-tendon and superficial reflexes during bedside neurologic examinations, preoperative assessments, intraoperative neuromonitoring checks, and outpatient neurology or physiatry visits. Its balance of head mass and handle length facilitates consistent percussive impulse to evaluate spinal cord and peripheral nerve function.

Design & Configuration

The telescopic configuration provides a compact form for storage and transport while allowing extension to a working length that increases leverage and impulse control. Clinically, the ability to extend or retract the handle supports varied patient positioning and examiner preference: shorter length for rapid, controlled taps during focused exams and extended length where increased impulse or reach is required. The Buck pattern head geometry concentrates the force for reliable reflex elicitation without excessive discomfort.
