Hurst prcussion hammer with pin 20cm

Clinical Application

Designed for standardized neurologic assessment, this reflex hammer is used to elicit deep tendon reflexes (eg, patellar, Achilles, biceps, triceps) and evaluate peripheral nerve integrity during preoperative evaluations, postop checks, and outpatient neurology examinations. The integrated pin provides a convenient means to test sharp/dull discrimination and superficial nociception when assessing sensory deficits or small-fiber neuropathy.

Design & Configuration

The compact 20 cm length offers balance between reach and control, allowing precise wrist motion to deliver reproducible taps. The Hurst head geometry concentrates force for clear reflex responses while minimizing extraneous movement. An integrated metal pin (stored on the instrument) gives immediate access for sensory testing without requiring a separate device, streamlining bedside and perioperative neurologic assessments.
