National Hospital Percussion Hammer 70mm 35cm

Clinical Application

Designed for neurological assessment and reflex elicitation in clinical and perioperative settings. The instrument is used to evaluate deep tendon reflexes (e.g., biceps, triceps, patellar, Achilles) and to help screen for peripheral neuropathy, spinal cord pathology, or central nervous system dysfunction. It is appropriate for use in preoperative evaluations, anesthesia assessments, outpatient neurology clinics, physical therapy baselines, and bedside examinations in hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers.

Design & Configuration

The 70 mm striking surface provides a moderate contact area that facilitates consistent energy transfer and reliable reflex responses in adult patients. The extended 35 cm length of the handle improves reach and leverage for examinations of patients in supine, seated, or stretcher positions and allows clinicians to deliver controlled, adjustable taps without excessive wrist motion. The overall geometry balances tactile feedback and rebound characteristics to support reproducible neurologic testing across multiple muscle groups.
