Traube Percussion Hammer 16cm

Clinical Application

Used to elicit deep tendon and superficial reflexes as part of a focused neurological examination. Common reflexes tested with this instrument include biceps, triceps, brachioradialis, patellar and Achilles responses. The hammer is suited for preoperative baseline neurologic assessments, routine postoperative surveillance of neuromuscular function, and clinic-based screening for peripheral neuropathy or spinal cord pathology.

Design & Configuration

The compact 16 cm length provides a balance of reach and control for precise, repeatable percussion. A dedicated striking surface concentrates impact energy to produce a consistent stimulus while the slim integrated handle supports a controlled wrist motion and quick bedside use. Its size also favors portability for use across exam rooms, procedure suites, and inpatient rounding.
