National Hospital Percussion Hammer 50mm 35cm

Clinical Application

Designed for reliable neurological examination, this percussion hammer provides a consistent percussive stimulus for assessment of deep tendon reflexes (patellar, Achilles, biceps, triceps and other tendon responses). It is suitable for outpatient clinics, preoperative and perioperative baseline neurologic screening, inpatient wards and emergency departments where rapid, repeatable reflex testing is needed.

Design & Configuration

The 50 mm round striking surface offers a moderate contact area that balances focal stimulus with patient comfort—large enough for lower-extremity reflexes and precise enough for upper-extremity testing. The 35 cm overall length gives clinicians added reach and mechanical advantage for controlled percussion while standing or when accessing patients in bed. The single-headed geometry provides a predictable rebound and tactile feedback important for reproducible exams.
