Berliner Reflex Hammer — Knee & Tendon, Neurology & Physiotherapy

The Berliner Reflex Hammer is a diagnostic instrument used to elicit patellar and other tendon reflexes. Its distinctive axe-like shape provides a broad, flat surface for stimulus, differing from the more common Taylor or Queen Square designs. This model is balanced for a consistent, repeatable swing.

Constructed from a single piece of surgical-grade stainless steel, the hammer is robust and easy to clean. It is fully autoclavable, meeting the stringent sterilisation requirements of clinical and hospital environments. The instrument is CE marked for conformity with UK and European regulations.

Primarily used by neurologists, physiotherapists, and general practitioners for assessing the integrity of the central and peripheral nervous systems. Also suitable for student training and first-aid kits.
