Queen Square Reflex Percussor Hammer
The Queen Square reflex hammer is a standard diagnostic instrument used to test myotatic and plantar reflexes. Its 305 mm length and weighted head are designed to facilitate a controlled swing, requiring minimal effort from the practitioner to elicit a response.
Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel with a flexible white nylon handle, this percussor is both durable and easy to clean. The head is encircled by a soft rubber ring to ensure patient comfort. The instrument is fully autoclavable, meeting the requirements for sterile clinical use.
Primarily used by neurologists, physiotherapists, and general practitioners for comprehensive neurological examinations. Also suitable for medical students, nurses, and paramedics for training and patient assessment.
