Taylor Rubber-Head Percussion Reflex Tendon Hammer
The Taylor Reflex Hammer is a classic diagnostic instrument used to elicit myotatic reflexes and observe central and peripheral nervous system responses. This 203 mm (8-inch) model features a solid stainless steel handle for balance and control, paired with a firm, triangular synthetic rubber head for precise percussion.
Constructed entirely from surgical-grade materials, the hammer is durable, easy to clean, and suitable for repeated clinical use. The satin and mirror finish resists corrosion, ensuring a long service life in demanding medical environments. It is fully CE marked, confirming its compliance with European health and safety standards.
Commonly used by neurologists for deep tendon reflex testing, by physiotherapists for patient assessment, and by medical students for clinical skills training.
