Description

Product Overview

The Santamedical Taylor Percussion Hammer is a purpose‑built medical instrument designed to deliver consistent, controlled percussion for neurological examinations. Constructed from high‑grade chrome‑plated steel, the 7.5‑inch handle provides a balanced feel that reduces hand fatigue during extended use. The triangular rubber head is engineered to produce a focused stimulus, ensuring accurate assessment of patellar and myotatic reflexes. A PVC bumper with a tapered tip protects both the patient and the instrument, extending the product’s lifespan. Weighing only 3.21 ounces, the hammer is lightweight yet robust, making it ideal for both teaching environments and busy clinical settings. Dimensions of 9.6 x 5.6 x 1 inches allow for easy storage in standard medical kits.

Usage

Clinicians, physiotherapists, and medical educators rely on the Taylor Percussion Hammer to evaluate reflex pathways in patients of all ages. Its ergonomic design enables precise strikes on the patellar tendon, facilitating clear observation of reflex responses. The hammer is also suitable for orthopedic assessments, muscle tone evaluation, and educational demonstrations in anatomy labs. Because the rubber head is replaceable, the instrument can be sanitized between patients, adhering to infection‑control protocols. Whether used in a hospital bedside exam, outpatient clinic, or university laboratory, the hammer delivers reliable performance, helping practitioners make informed diagnostic decisions.
