Buck Neurological Percussion Hammer 18cm

Clinical Application

Designed for bedside and clinic neurology assessments, this percussion hammer is used to elicit deep tendon reflexes (for example, biceps, triceps, patellar and Achilles) and to help evaluate peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy and central nervous system integrity. Its compact form is suited to routine neurological screening, preoperative neurologic checks and serial examinations where consistent, reproducible stimulus is required.

Design & Configuration

The compact 18 cm profile provides close hand control and precise striking force, improving examiner accuracy when testing small reflex targets or working in constrained spaces. The elastomer striking surface delivers a focused, cushioned impact that reduces patient discomfort while producing a consistent mechanical stimulus for repeatable reflex grading.
